Justin Rogers prefers Publix over Kroger. Enough said. Lol

Food City!

Football guys. Word is he's a pretty strong, however lean dude. Yes or no, do we not have a hybrid LB/DE role in our defense? i'll hang up & let Bass answer.

It’s an edge rusher...still not considered a DL.

 

[WhatInVolnation]

Forgetting BJ Ojulari?

I think he’s an OLB in the 3-4. But, yes, he’s a huge get too.

 

[WhatInVolnation]

I think we really need Omari Thomas. He could be the best DT prospect out of everyone in that group.

You’re right. I think he may be the best DT/NT prospect we are in on.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Just think in a couple years....
LB's - Toot, Crouch, Harrison, Ojulari, French, Eason, Beasley.
DL - Emerson, Mincey, Garland, Harris, Simmons, Thomas, Oxendine, Bailey, Hardy and Baron.
Secondary - Art Green, Tyus, Jaylen, Warren, Kenneth, Lawrence, McDaniel and Thompson (Unless he goes pro after Junior year), Alontae.

Obviously some of these may not be here in a couple of years and some may commit elsewhere, but that looks perty strong.

Edit: forgot McDonald.

With you putting Art in there, it reminded me of something that happened when my son was 10. His best friend's brother played for USC, and they got to go to a game. Even though they were not playing UT, the boys wore their Tennessee shirts. After the game they got to meet some players and got a SC shirt they had been given signed. When I talked to him on the phone that night he was a little upset that his friends shirt said something awesome, and his said God bless art....which had nothing to do with football or any sport. I looked at his tshirt when he got home, and it said....God bless, Art #11... Yeah, commas are important. (The players told them wearing TN shirts was just wrong lol.)

i said it earlier. this is the most important recruit we have, other than Memphis backers & Bailey.

Just curious, why? His offer list isn't very impressive. What makes him most important recruit? How is a 3 star most important?

Depth at a spot of need.
Offers from Oklahoma, Penn St., Texas, and Us. Not bad.

Rivals 4 star. Any 6’3 310+ lb lineman with multiple SEC offers is an important recruit.

Dan Williams.

Not sure I would say he’s the most important but Dline is definitely up there as far as importance.

YES

Doc Oc - Just one cog...in the, intergalactic rap battle, battling for supremacy.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Piggybacking off Ron...Dave runs KentuckyPreps

so a Kentucky guy flips his pick to TN?

 

[VolSummitt44]

DL IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT.

This. All you need to do is look at how our defense played when our defensive line got pressure and took up blockers so our linebackers could make plays. Both sides of the ball the line is most important.

Last weekend, the Vols hosted a trio of 4-star defensive lineman for the Mississippi State game, with many in the program believing the Vols made a move with all three prospects. Tennessee was chasing Kentucky for Octavious Oxendine, but the North Hardin (Ky.) standout was blown away on his official visit. QC Brandon Deaderick and DL coach Tracy Rocker both deserve credit here. It has become a true tossup battle with the Wildcats for Oxendine, with some believing the Vols actually hold the edge now. Notably, Oxendine has already taken his OV to UK

This kid along with Baron, Hardy, Thomas, French, Eason, and McDonald would put us at 10th (253.38) with 21 commits

Then add one of Washington/Gilbert/Sewell and possibly Grimes, Joel Williams and an OT type. That would be a miracel top 10 class somehow after this seasons start

Also some may get cleared for other prospects. You know how it goes every year. I can’t wait to see the end .
