'18 TN LB Jackson Sirmon (Washington transfer)

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

if only there was a team in his home state that needed anyone that isn’t Aaron Beasley at LB…

 

[SpringBokVol]

Is that Peter Sirmons kid?

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Surely he goes to Cal or Oregon, right?

Surely he goes to Cal or Oregon, right?

Yeah, I’d think he’d want to finish up with his dad at Cal. Of course, when I was a teenager I always butted heads with my dad when he would coach me so who knows?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Is that Peter Sirmons kid?

Yes. That's why he went to high school in the Nashville area.

Lord knows we could probably use a LB with some experience and #s on the roster.

91 tackles!!! That's pretty impressive. Would be nice to get him in the UT loop. Maybe end up being a nice coach/recruiter some day.

People bash on Banks and he statistically blew this kid out of the water. This kid has a similar stat line to Beasley...

Haven't you heard...Beasley isn't any good....but any transfer LB with similar stats is great....

91 tackles but only 4 tackles for loss tells me this kid has slow reaction time as far as reading plays. Sounds like he makes a lot of tackles beyond the line of scrimmage. Still might be better than what we have beyond Banks. I'm not going to discount any of our current guys with another year of development though.

It's hard to tell with these things. Kid could have been a monster and held a lot of runs to a yard or two. There's no way of knowing but statistically he's Beasley and it was his first year really playing. If Beasley and Banks take a step next year then we will have a good lb tandem.

Hard to tell. He's been playing in a pass-heavy league throughout his career, so that may contribute. Not sure about recent years, but I know in the past, Chris Peterson's Washington teams, especially with Vita Vea, dropped 8 into coverage more often than not. That kind of scheme doesn't lead to many TFL's for a backer.

Valid point, but I know that Oregon and UCLA ran the ball a lot.

Really good kid, high football IQ. Probably going to Cal to play for his Dad and Wilcox.

Well spoken. Student of the game.

Do we have a shot at all? Wouldn't he just go play for his dad?
