Impact Freshman

[jordan4vols]

Can anyone give a rundown of what the vq article says about some of the new guys like Brice Brown, Richardson, Teague, etc...

 

[wildberry14]

it basically says that everyone is expecting BB to be an impact guy, maybe even start the year as second string

they also expect nuke and teague to play early and often due to WR injuries

and they also said to watch out for guys like hood and rogers

there wasnt a whole lot of groundbreaking information in the article

If Hood is still around 250 lbs I doubt he'll see the field this year. Now, if he's closer to 280 lbs now then it's possible he could be a backup later in the season.

I don't see Hood on the field under any circumstances outside of a bunch of injuries.

Seems like Rogers might be someone to watch for. I can't imagine Hood getting in the mix any time soon, though. Of course, I don't have any inside info or anything.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Unless he's gained weight he won't see the field till later in the season. There's usually an injury or two on the OL at that time.

Isn't he playing TE?

That's what I thought as well. At least TE is where I thought he was starting out at anyway.

I suspected that too, with his jersey number being 89. It seemed like no one really asked about it though.

I fully expect Bryce Brown to be the starting TB much sooner than many think. This guy has a ton of talent and will make a huge impact. Also, watch for Jerod Askew to make an earl;y impact as well.

They were talking about him seeing early playing time at tight end.

I agree about Askew, but lets go ahead and add Montori Hughes to the early impact list as well.
