Vols first team to offer.
No recruiting rankings.
No pictures on 247 or rivals.
Relatively new to twitter.

Looks like a classic case of the staff digging and trusting their evaluations.

It appears that we don't want to be left high and dry in the DE market like we were last year.

It appears that we don't want to be left high and dry in the DE market like we were last year.

It's probably our biggest position of need this cycle. Looking at the UTSports spring roster, it looks like we only have the following DE's heading into 2020, after the 2019 seniors leave:

JaQuain Blakely (R-Sr in 2020)(if he doesn't transfer out)
Latrell Bumphus (Sr in 2020)
Matthew Butler (Sr in 2020)
Aubrey Solomon (either Sr or R-Jr in 2020)
Darel Middleton (Sr in 2020)

Kingston Harris (Jr in 2020)
John Mincey (Jr in 2020)

Greg Emerson (R-So)

Wow.... gaping hole there in the middle of the roster.

I hope we take 8-10 DL this class.

I hope we take 8-10 DL this class.

That's what I have been saying for a couple years. now hope that we go gangbusters on the DL this year. Make it the #1 Priority.
