I don't have an official list but here are the ones I remember:
Charlie High QB CAK, Knoxville, TN
Brett Dockery OL Farragut, Farragut, TN
Thomas Edwards OL Dobyns-Bennett, Kingsport, TN
Andrew Gantz K Dayton, OH
Those are the only ones I can remember right now.

So take slow offensive linemen and make them even slower defensive linemen

You "usually" don't take slower OL and turn them into DL.. On the DL you want someone who is way more athletic than the average OL. OL you look for size strength and foot work..

Guess McCullers Runs a 4.4 huh and Daniel Hood he's really slow. If they are so slow that means they have no business blocking a faster player. You can use them for short yardage plays and goal line. You just need a push.

Per a poster on VQ...

we are getting another one,,Cory Rowe , who played QB at Sullivan North, will walk on at UT, He is 6-1 190 and will probably play safety. He benches 315 and having seen him play hoops he is physically mature for a 17 year old, you can tell he has spent a lot of time in the weight room. He has a video up on YouTube.

I hope the defensive linemen in Jancek's system do more than eat space...what you're talking about might have worked better last season..btw I'm not disrespecting your opinion on this

Andrew Gantz needs to be getting ready because he will be seeing a pretty good amount of work.

Clay Matthews was a walk on at USC as well. I know he was a LB but I think he lined up at DE on certain situations for them as well, and it's the same concept either way. Sometimes walk-ons become good players. Some guys just develop later than others. Not saying any of these guys will become studs for us but you never know.

Rowe is a great kid.

And, a preferred walk-on only means that player doesn't have to try out for the team.:good!:

I really like CH, he was a heck of a QB for CAK. But we signed two really good QBs this year. It's going to be tough for him to get any PT over those guys IMO.
