I remember when Tennessee beat Florida for this kid. Wasn’t happy

Best of luck to you Marcus!!! Thanks for being a VOL!

 

[Hacksaw]

Nothing but good feelings for Marcus here. He gave his all, IMO, and I wish him well if he decides to go elsewhere.

 

[vol445]

suggestion can we just put a thread titled transfer portal and list em in there. Maybe list the ones we’d be interested in

 

[CAVPUT]

Looks like Pruitt really wants to get to 25 in this class. If my math is correct, 4 more will need to move along? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Dudleys87]

More things that point toward Trey staying? We were thin already and it keeps getting thinner.

275LB Offensive lineman usually struggle in the SEC. best of luck to Tatum

I couldnt agree more but if he goes to fla.... Frank (Talladega Nites) is gonna be pissed

This is what I was thinking. "What's the reason multiple offensive lineman would be wanting to transfer"? Perhaps they know Trey is coming back, and that, along with Kennedy staying, has made them decide to look elsewhere.

Transfers will only open up schollys for those without them later. It will allow Pruitt to offer some guys that scholarship but does not affect the 25 number. 25 is 25 for everyone.

If that’s the case we’d only have to fill one spot up front and make nxt season a hell of a lot easier. I could see Trey going wither way but there has to be something to all this transfer.

 

[RazzBury]

He would provide great depth, but I can't blame a RS senior for wanting to start during his last year. We'll still have Wanya Morris and Jahmir Johnson on the left side and Darnell Wright and K'Rojhn Calbert on the right. It lets a younger guy get those second and third team reps during camp.

Man that sucks. Always need depth on the OL and we are getting thin.

Um Pruitt can sign 25 regardless of who transfers

He’s 316 lb this year and still struggled. Just saying.

I think CAVPUT is concerned with the need to stay below the 85 total scholarship limit. The Vols only had 9 scholarship seniors running through the T. We'll need some attrition from the scholarship freshmen thru juniors by next Fall to be able to sign 25 and still stay below the 85 total cap.

 

[BigBadVol]

Good luck young man and thank you for being a Vol. We know it hasn't been easy.

Getting thin? It’s as thin as fine cut tobacco

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Best of luck to him!!

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Per Patrick Brown.

The Tennessee offensive line will be getting a lot bigger so the smaller offensive linemen will probably be heading to FCS

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

All the more reason for that Monster OL out of Texas to commit to us.

Tater will be a pretty decent starter outside of the SEC.
