Kick returner to replace Callaway?

That's what I'm thinking. Could see him returning kicks with Chandler or Gray. Could also see him being our primary punt returner even though his stats on Fox Sports show that he didn't return any punts at USG... We've also got some options with incoming freshmen Jalen Hyatt and Jimmy Calloway. That punt return job will be an important battle. Callaway handled that almost exclusively the past three seasons.

we're in good shape here. Both Tee and Ansley recruited this guy out of HS. I'm not sure why he didn't put up numbers at USC but it's safe to assume there's some potential here with Tee being familiar with him. He fast for dang sure.

Ok, so is this an indication were using a scholarship on Velus because Coach Pruitt is not fully happy with the 2020 vols reciever room ?

I mean my train of thought is if he didnt start at USC, then what makes him worthy of a one and done scholarship instead of a high school senior that will probably be in the program for multiple years ?

Well USC is a little more loaded at the position then we are so there is an opportunity. If Jennings and Callaway were returning we wouldnt even be on his radar

I like the pick up. Take talent and experience today and recruit even more talent next cycle. Former 1st team all Pac 12 kick returner as a Freshman and 2nd team as a Sophomore. Could take that role off Chandler's plate and help produce some big plays.
Listen all the way to the end of the video. "He was mad his 1st one got called back"

Go Vols

I suspected that Pruitt might forgo recruiting high school kids for the second signing period and look for some immediate help. With Mays and Jones they are filling those spots with experience players ready to contribute.

Consider USC having a top 5 recruiting class for the last 20 years. Is it possible they are loaded at WR?
