'19 NJ ILB Juwan Mitchell (Texas Transfer) [Tennessee commit]

[yourstruly23]

I hope Michigan State gives Crouch the choice of playing running back or riding the bench.He sure ain’t a linebacker.

Don't underestimate Mel Tucker.. he might get something out of him or at least be smart enough to put him on the outside rushing the passer

 

[Hallie]

you have to think others saw that Crouch was neither a RB or a LB .. man without a position ... Michigan St ..really ??? with all the southern schools SEC and ACC and he goes to probably the 5th or 6th best team in Big 10 .. I dont think he had alot of takers !!!!

They were 13th out of 14 teams last year... 2-5 record

Maybe. I think Pruitt helped him, then hurt him. He showed good ability as a freshman as OLB. Moving him fulltime to ILB, just didn't fit him.

I think he'll do well at Michigan State. We got a better player in Mitchell now.
and Banks was just as good if not better than Crouch sometimes.

Still I appreciate he didn't go play RB for UGA or OLB for Kentucky.

Has anyone heard or seen anything about Jordan Anthony?
former 5 star that said in an interview 2 days ago we wanted to come to Tennessee. Played ILB at UM, has officially left Michigan

 

[utvols83]

Crouch was really coming along well late in the season against the run, but was still a big liability in coverage. Banks was better in coverage, although he still had mental lapses that hurt the defense. I agree with the previous poster that he was better suited for OLB. I think he's got the potential to be really good there. Moving to MLB and being coached by Niedermeyer hurt his development.

 

[PA Vol]

coached by Niedermeyer.

lol

Come on down and earn that scholarship.

Surprised he doesn’t have his own thread on here. Would be massive if we added him.

He has 15 career tackles and sat out all of last year after entering the transfer portal in August. He may be able to contribute some, but I think massive is an overstatement.

Hubbs said in the chat that the staff wasn’t willing to use a scholarship.

Considering we have his former position coach on staff, that speaks volumes.

But I do think we need to add another ILB.

 

[TennesseeStudVOL]

I would like to see them give the Armstrong kid from Kennesaw st a chance

Any warm body via passing a “fog the mirror” test is massive for us right now.

Eh, we need more than warm bodies right now. We have talent back there, just not a lot. If Anthony didn’t play well at UM because of coaching, and could thrive here, that’s another thing.

[swchandler1988]

Looks like he gained a lot of weight too (6’0 245). I’m on board the Kennesaw State LB train if we’re looking for another LB type. Would be nice to have two guys that are a LB/DB hybrid in Armstrong and Marley

Does Marley project as a LB or DB or is he a hybrid? Just wondering where the board sees him fitting in. And also what about Trinity Bell, DL, OL, TE?

I want the Kennesaw State guy, plays tough.

 

[thunder5]

if we truly have only one spot left then IMO it needs to go to a CB...we are scary thin there and we will most likely be playing more DB's than LB's in this new defense

 

[TheBigOne10]

Give me Armstrong and call it a day. Maybe another corner.

Marley played LB and WR in HS but we recruited him for defense. Bell will be on the DL

Didn't he enter the portal last year and fail to find a taker? There may be more to the story with him.

AP said Crouch’s uncle (I think) played there, so there are ties for him to Mich State, and that it wasn’t as out of the blue as you think.
