As for playing in front of 100,000-plus fans on Saturdays? That atmosphere is another reason why Hurd chose Tennessee.
The game day experience is insane, Hurd said. You just want to pinch yourself when youre in Neyland Stadium, when they run out through the T and all those fans are screaming; its incredible. I remember going there when I was little, and I told myself that I was going to do that one day.
Now, Hurd wants others to come on board with him.
Im going to be beating down the doors of other recruits, letting them know the reasons why I committed, why Wharton and Kelly committed and why they should commit, too, Hurd said. I hope that my decision will help others see that Tennessee is going to be a team they will want to play for.
Hurd believes that hes going to a team that will be on the upswing very soon.
