JT Shrout heading to Colorado

[Keyser Soze]

Let me be the first to say. JT will play on Sundays. He just needs time to get game speed reps. He has an NFL arm.

 

[Border Vol]

Good luck at Colorado,JT!

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

will be very interesting to see what he can do with real coaching. Good luck JT!

So did Heath Shuler. It takes a lot more than that.

The Pac 12 is terrible defensively so Shrout should thrive at Colorado.

Good luck to him.

Have you seen the points being put up in the SEC lately? The Pac 12 was terrible defensively, back when defense mattered, it doesn't any more.

Heath broke his foot pretty much ending his career.

 

[AllVols]

Good luck JT.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I’ll be a JTS fan next year. Hope he does well.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Good luck to him. Who knows, he may get some coaching there.

 

[sjt18]

Disappointing but I hope he has great success.

Congratulations to that young man. Wishing him nothing but success

Amen. I will aways have the feeling that J.T. could have been our guy in the right coaching hands. I hope he kills giants out there.

Not that players shouldn't have options, but this transfer portal opens up a Pandora's Box in terms of handlers and potential transfer destinations. College is becoming a true semi-pro league.... recruiting and signing day is the draft, transfer portal is free agency. Schools better get a dedicated player-personnel coordinator if they don't already have one to manage rosters and turnover year to year.

So we are down to BM and HB for QB next year?

 

[MWAVolfan]

Does anyone know if Cade Mays and Trey Smith are going to the NFL or are they taking their extra year of eligibility?

 

[Pacer92]

I really feel like JT has all the tools to play at the next level. PT and good QB coach are the only obstacles, jmo.

I'll be suprisred to see anyone with a shot at the next level staying on The Knoxville Titanic.

 

[munsterlander]

Hate to see him go. He is more athletic than HB and seems to have made some strides in the mental aspects of the game. Hope he goes nuts the next couple years and wins a Heisman.

Heath broke his foot pretty much ending his career.

And was cursed playing behind a very bad OL.

Just hope we never have to play against him because, as is the Tennessee way, he would beat us in a Heisman worthy tour de force. It’s just what we do

I appreciate all he has given. I bet he is appreciative for the opportunity to start at this level. Now is the right time while he still has three years and probably won't have to wait a year. I HOPE this means he believes HB is the real deal.

 

[ButchBettaBeGone]

All the best! Wish you a successful career!

@PulaskiVolFan......

 

[OriginalCoach]

I’m not sure. My guess is since he’s from the SEC he’d have a leg up.

If he was that good, he’d be starting here.

If he was that good, he’d be starting here.

Do you really still believe Pruitt on qbs?

Trey is gone, I think CM will be back.
