How Joe Doyle went from ‘ain’t no way’ to UT standout

[kamoshika]

UT is 3rd nationally in punt return defense.

Joe Doyle was willing to take any opportunity to wear a Tennessee uniform. The former All-American punter and kicker for Farragut High School had scholarship offers from San Diego State and several FCS schools, but he found UT’s preferred walk-on offer more enticing. “I grew up in Knoxville. This has always kind of been the dream for me,” said Doyle, the Vols’ redshirt freshman punter, “and I was willing to do whatever to represent Tennessee and play.”

Great story, at least something good may come out of this season.

Punters are under appreciated, glad the kid got a chance

Good replacement for Trevor Daniels. He is doing a very good job.

Put him on scholly now!

He’s earned it moreso than a lot of high ranked players.

Was gonna make a snarky comment like, “sure hope he’s well-conditioned, cause he’s gonna get a ton of playing time the rest of the year”. But then I remembered how this team turns the ball over and realized he may not get many opportunities at all.

Anywho, cool story, happy for the kid having success.

Unfortunately, former UT punter Tommy Townsend made life Hell on his former team. The safety was the result of a perfectly executed punt. I think he pinned us deep on another as well.

Joe Doyle is The Man. We need more Joe Doyles on this team.

We just need Mr. Doyle to pin opponents between the 1 and 3 yard line no matter where he punts from...and allow enough hang time for at least 5 Tennessee players to wait for the punt to land.

And hope one of the 5 can corral it before it makes the end zone!
