'25 TN WR Cameron Sparks

[VolFreakJosh]

Dude reminds me of Quavaris Couch.

Physically big but doesn’t have the speed for the SEC.

Waited too long.

 

[Imvolin423]

Def between positions. He would be a much better prospect at LB imo. He lacks the the quickness to be elusive at WR and doesn’t snag in many 50/50 balls.

 

[Volanooga2521]

He may have waited too long and now we are in on others we like more. I think a lot of staffs like him better as a LB, but he seems deadset on playing WR.

He's physically gifted but a very raw route runner. Would be a better RB or LB than WR.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Somethin' goin' on in crooting.

People who have seen him play in person have reported he was unimpressive. If you don't absolutely wow against high school competition you aren't gonna make it in the SEC.

Even then, Chris Donald, it still may not translate.

Wow

 

[volKano]

He ain’t worth it. We offered first and it was almost three years ago. Get in the boat earlier or hit the road,

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Look for him to end up at Purdue or something similar like Louisville watch.

Meh, never impressed me. Patrick Willis was impressive but it was at such a low level in the state. Avery Williamson at Milan also I thought was a miss but we brought in guys like AJ Johnson that year as well.

Kid couldn’t read a developing play at all. Insane physical abilities….poor football IQ

 

[LittleVol]

His film showed a lot of versatility.
I wish he would be more open minded.

Good luck to the kid. Would still absolutely love to see him in Orange and White

Will be interesting to see how long it takes for him to move to LB or RB at wherever he is, or transfers to Georgia State to play WR.

Look at Lenneth Whitehead. He was a 4* Linebacker coming out of high school. Everyone wanted him, but he wanted to play RB. I think the closest he got the starting lineup was 4th or 5th string?

If he’s this hell bent on playing WR he must not not like contact

Either way the point of the story is that these kids who try to play positions they shouldn't usually do not work out. Not always, but usually not.

 

[Imvolin423]

Kid looked like a torpedo when he played at linebacker and safety as a sophomore. I know they all want the TDs, big plays etc.. but he is not an SEC WR.

I don't think Whitehead is a good example. His issues were injury related. Even if he played LB, the injuries would have kept him sidelined. I hate it for the guy. Good kid with tremendous work ethic.

This thread is going to get interesting as the season goes along.

Because his NEW teammate is Joakim Dodson.

Let's see who is more productive this season.
Sparks or Dodson.

Many of you all are counting Sparks out too quickly. If he wises up , he'll be a hot prospect again.

This dude could be what we had with Princeton Fant except for 4 years and a faster version.
