I hope Heupel and staff genuinely pursue this guy. He has exceptional hands. Also a great kid. He's starting to pull in a few more offers including Va Tech and Miami it appears recently.

Is there an out-of-game catch?

It's game film highlights. Seems like a strange comment. Not to mention, if the catch is a ridiculous catch then who cares if it is in practice or a game.

SC TE coach was there to see it. Same dude that was head coach at GA State when they embarrassed us in Neyland.

He won’t be at uscjr next year so it hardly matters.

Oak Ridge tight end Malik Howard felt like a Tennessee and Alabama battle for the longest time but the Crimson Tide recently took a 2027 TE so we now think Vanderbilt becomes the biggest competition for Tennessee.

I can't wait to see Vandys fall off next, capped by a 20+ loss to Tennessee in the season finale. Just to remind little brother, you're not actually competing with Tennessee for recruits.

Malik is quickly becoming one of the best red-zone tight ends in the 2027 class

Alec Abeln checked in on him yesterday

Oak Ridge tight end Malik Howard plans to be over to campus in March. Tennessee is in a battle here with Vanderbilt, who is throwing money at the in-state class. Miami and Alabama are also involved.

Could be the future at tight end . A big stout man with good hands. Tennessee will land this one.

 

[volKano]

Need to cut the head off Vandy or we will have to deal with them for years to come. One good year won’t change things but we it best to keep them down.

Oak Ridge (Tenn.) High four-star tight end Malik Howard is another major target and Tennessee is one of the schools setting the pace.
“The Vols stick out to me just for the culture in the program that Coach Heupel has built over the last few years,” Howard told Rivals. “It’s like one huge family with the goal to win football games. As well they have a very explosive offense, and they think my skill set would flourish in it, especially with the quarterback play they’re expected to have for the next few years. They’ve made it clear that if I’m ready, I’ll be able to contribute heavily my freshman year, and I won’t have to worry about getting held back due to my age. I think that they are a staff that could develop me, and new additions to the program like the new strength coach just improve that thought.”
