Jackson Lampley is "IN" for "One Last Ride"

[TAF]

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Nice! Thanks big man for being a true VFL!

 

[DixieVol]

Super stoked! Glad he is able to live his dream

 

[Orange defense]

The best offensive line in the country. Thanks for helping these guys out now.

 

[Palm Beach Vol]

That's a VFL right there!

 

[OH-Vol]

He has been great at faking injuries on extra points

Is it really necessary for players like Lampley and Davis to make these grand announcements about their return? I can’t help but think these announcements are a microcosm of their generation…what some might refer to as the by product of a lifetime of participation trophies and things of that nature

Really. If they aren’t the big stars, let them have their moment. Just be happy he is a VFL and not demanding another $50.

 

[KnoxLandcruiser]

I'm not sure how someone can read what Jackson wrote and (assuming they're a TN fan) criticize him for putting it out there.

Glad he's back and glad he's a VFL!

If he was really good at it, we wouldn’t know he’s faking . In any event, your point is taken, and his contribution to the program is much appreciated

gave a great interview also.. what he had to say about Nico was interesting and the Crawford puke story.

Judging by the graphic, I’m thinking maybe UT asked them too. And whether we approve of their performances or not, their return adds needed depth to the offensive line.

Yep, two guys thankful for their opportunities to be VOLS, one second generation, getting their shot at sharing their love for the program is pretty important. Bet CJH is more than good with it. Way more necessary than having Stephen A Smith like snarky analysis on their efforts.

 

[madbamahater]

He needs tons of more playing time. He is actually a very solid lineman and a smart football player. I think he'll get a shot at the next level

 

[TheGoodStuff]

Affirmative statements by team leaders in an environment where everyone is looking to bolt to the next best offer is a good thing

It’s not drama. It’s anti-drama. Too bad it’s needed but it is

 

[VolBricks]

Very well said young man, be a Vol one more year. Don't let anyone get in the way of your dream.

Yeah, how dare he share his excitement at playing another year for a school and a program he loves. We dont want that kind of loyalty and enthusiasm out of our players, no sir

This might be… Single handedly the worst take I’ve seen in about 6 months+.. the man posts on his personal Twitter and that’s a “grand announcement.”

That’s like me posting a picture with my family on Instagram and you saying “this man and his family are attention hungry.”

You sound bitter.. and a little sad. I’ll pray for you scout.

 

[knox73]

Brad Lampley was a ballplayer as is his son. Glad to see the legacy players do well.

That is a phenomenal interview - thanks for posting it.

 

[Volfan1000]

More depth for the offensive line room.

I think our guys get nicked on extra points because they overlap legs to seal off lanes . All it takes is for your mate beside to lose his balance and fall on your knee...

 

[Rocky Top T]

The best offensive line in the country. Thanks for helping these guys out now.

I wouldn't go that far. Maybe a good OL.

 

[volroadwarrior]

Great to have him back. I'm sure coach Heupel glad also!!!!!

Lol no. It's all an act to give our defense an extra few minutes of rest. If you notice, these "injuries" happen when either A.) our offense scores very quickly or B.) Our defense scores on a turnover. In a lot of cases, Lampley is the designated "laydown lineman" in those situations.
