Per his twitter, huh? I'll believe this as soon as Jabo Lee makes it in.

@CoolJones_: After 7 weeks of tears , pain, intense rehab, doctor visits, and tests. God finally showed up and showed out! im cleared to play!

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Hope they still don't rush the kid.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Is he a QB?..

 

[FrattyVol]

That's good he's cleared to play, but I'm skeptical how much he will be able to contribute this year. Sounds like Sutton and Coleman had separated themselves from him before he had to sit out.

But if u noticed, we play more than two CBs all game. A Walkon scored our only TD of he 1st half... We can use him for sure

Depth. Depth. Depth. When drives get long and the defense is getting tired it's good to have a CB that can come in and rest a starter without having a large drop off in talent.

I agree but it never hurts to have depth. He's a JUCO guy that can bring guidance though. He's got some of the fastest feet I have ever seen.

sounds to me like the walk on is doing just fine...

More is always better, or we wouldn't be giving up so many yards on defense. Hell, maybe he can tackle better than the Walk-on....

Swafford is a scholarship player

 

[kidwell087]

I know it's hard for us to understand the concept of "depth". It has been way to long since we have had some at ANY position.

walk-on also missed a tackle that sprung a TD.

If you think Jones can't help this team, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[sjt18]

Is he a QB?..

Better. He's a CB.

 

[Volfan2012]

The best teams are three deep with very little drop off in talent between one and two.

lol: Hopefully a 5 Star!

Swafford is not a walkon.

Lulz

Better. He's a CB.

Our cbs have more tds than qbs, hows that better

 

[24/7vol]

Great news..getting him and Vereen back just makes the defense better. We need to get the club off of Smith and Maggit and we could have a pretty good D.

 

[FBtime]

Swafford is not a walkon.

What do you say that?

Tennessee Vols Trending Report: Week Four (Florida) - Rocky Top Talk

Devaun Swafford. The kid is a freshman and walk-on, and he's now picked off a pass and run it back for a touchdown against a big rival in an SEC stadium. If he never does anything else, it'll be a story to tell his grandkids. But the thing about freshmen is that they often get better. He won't be Eric Berry, but Swafford has a chance to be a lot better than your run-of-the-mill walk-on.

 

[tallyho]

Better. He's a CB.

Wasn't he hand-picked by our coaches to be a starter at CB this year...why so negative...he was a top JUCO DB...

 

[allvol123]

Good news for him. Health issues like that are scary. Glad it is not something that ended his career.
