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

[swchandler1988]

So little experience, but Mitchell and Banks could certainly hold their own while Willis, MoJo, and French get prepped.

Actually didn’t mean to post something that looked like I was arguing just now haha coincidence

Albright played LB at a pretty high level in high school I believe. Not your typical long snapper. Not claiming he's an SEC caliber LB, just stating that he is athletic.

LOL, maybe Pruitt did is a solid and this “long snapper” turns out to be a better LB.
GBO!!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

There’s about 100 LBs in the portal. I’ve made I think 5 threads. There’s about 20 more I could’ve done

Who cares? Don’t let it bother you, I happen to like looking at these transfer threads. Besides, have you checked out some of the other worthless threads that get posted on a daily basis on this site?
GBO!!

Maybe AV was just referring to GME this whole time?

 

[Revived2002]

Has similar stats to Crouch last year. Nothing bad, just throwing that out there.

Yeah I doubt this guy is an All-SEC talent but I’m pretty sure he’s a better alternative than the long snapper so... let’s get him!

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

What is our connection here? Seems strange TX leading tackler would leave and come to the real UT

 

[LittleVol]

Mitchell/Banks/Willis/Joseph/French. I feel good about that group in the middle

Garland...

Banks has the most physical ability, but he's often out of position.

Garland and or Willis could start beside him.

Don't sleep on Paak Garland.

Oh goody we’re back to having insiders

Oh goody just more chances for people to bash others and call them out.

 

[m1al]

shouldn't be too hard for a letterman to start over a longsnapper

I don't know about that, this guy is pretty old.......

 

[Ten_Titans]

Just a matter of when

I hope he sampled our local McDonald's also. Damn we need some bodies there.

I need my coffee to kick in. I read this as "100 pounds" in the transfer portal. LOL

If this does pan out then I'm pretty confident in our overall LB corp...I think we're at least two deep at every LB type we need:

ILB: Banks-Mitchell-French-Willis
OLB (edge rusher type): Joseph-Harrison-Young/Eason (if you want more depth these two can be cross trained as DE/LB hybrids)
OLB (coverage guys): Beasley-Page-McDonald/McCullough (if you want more depth these two can be cross trained as safety/LB hybrids for obvious passing downs)

I guess the big questions would be the health and lack of time in the new system for Banks since he missed spring practice...we also don't know for sure what will happen with Beasley, French and Willis so we'll see how that goes...

All in all I say there's alot to work with here

 

[HalfullVol]

there are quite a few bodies to work with at a critical position

let's hope there is SEC level talent there to develop

lots of opportunity for transfers to possibly contribute

Where do you see Baron playing?

Sweet - now add a couple of DB transfers to shore up depth there and we could be cooking with gas.

 

[thunder5]

Where do you see Baron playing?

IMHO he's a DE all the way...to me he's a guy who is your WDE in a traditional 4-3 set then rotates to SDE on obvious passing downs when someone like Joseph or Harrison comes in as your WDE

Agreed...CB specifically...I feel good about safety but one injury at CB and we might be hurting

 

[Border Vol]

He would be instant upgrade but i would also take UCF LB Eric Mitchell

 

[MadWorld]

He would be instant upgrade but i would also take UCF LB Eric Mitchell

Maybe an upgrade to our current LB's but a downgrade from Henry T in my opinion.

Bring on both Mitchell's if we can.

Is he an option? Haven't seen him mentioned.

You mean @VOLUNTEERSZN missed one.....
