Gets off the ball very well and has really good closing speed ..

 

[jvols1999]

Love the offer, IMO he looks like a dude who can play immediately next season.

He is at least big. Hopefully not another Jamal Wallace.

Who was the last good one we got? Savion Williams, Emmitt gooden and Darel Middleton were all fairly recent busts.

Gonna need to reload on the DL after this year with some guys that can contribute immediately.

Pearson?

If thats him then he needs to be the first one off the bus and wear the adidas version of that shirt while leading the team to the stadium.

Byron Young came from JUCO. Drafted in the 3rd round and is currently second in the NFL in sacks.

Dee Williams was another JUCO recruit who panned out pretty well here under Heup.

Definitely more busts overall coming out of JUCO, but there are also diamonds in the rough (Kamara, Cordarelle Patterson, etc.)

 

[D-Vols]

I have been wondering and worrying about our DL next year, really glad to get this offer. Hopefully, we get him picked up.

Agreed. We are desperately missing players with his body type and skill set on the DL this season.

Squattier DL that can eat up space in the middle and plug up running lanes.

One of the three greatest safeties to ever wear the Power T came from Juco.

I work with his cousin, still the reason I became a Chiefs fan back in the day. Dale Carter was one of my favorite Vols.

Let us not forget about Woody Quinn, TE. Kid was legit. Game changer..

He's originally from Memphis.

Along with Wallace dealing with injuries, isn't this the first time he's played D-line?

He was a high school WR, played LB/Edge in JUCO, and moved inside to DT at UT. I think he’ll be a factor in 2026.

Not that I know of. I know we‘ve been hurting for depth and the true freshmen seem to be ahead of him in the rotation. He played some snaps vs UAB and ETSU so I don’t think he’s hurt.

I think so too. CRG is also a fan

 

[KB5252]

Give me this dude, he's a space eater that holds the point of attack and gets off blocks. Give this guy 3 months in our strength and conditioning program and mentor under Garner and this guy eats.
