'19 VA LB Eugene Asante

[swchandler1988]

Yeah I'm not sure about this guy though. He looks like a hell of a football player from his highlights, but he doesn't really look fluid from sideline to sideline. I could see him being like a poor mans freshman Myles Jack though. More of a depth guy/special teams than a game changer though

Roman played as a 245 pound NT and still won defensive player of the year in his division. He’ll be playing OLB for us. I wish he was enrolling early

What about this dude.

Save space for the 2020 class.

What it Russell goes elsewhere. Gotta have something lined up. There was some decent talk on this guy few weeks ago.

Think they still rather take less to get a complete 2020 class.

What about this dude.

iirc I think he OV'd to FSU this past weekend or at least was supposed to..

Good he is not committed yet. I like options.

 

[SugarCC]

I think I like this guy more than Russell. All he does is blow dudes up, and block kicks.

I remember a lot of positive comments on him, is why I bumped thread.

I’m fine with Wright and Harris if he qualifies...fugg the blueshirt. Get a full class next year.

This Armand’s boy?

Pretty flattering article here...

Vols Offer Sleeper Outside Linebacker Prospect

"He possess good size and strength, but he has track speed. That combination of strength and speed oozes potential as a pass rushing outside linebacker. He takes great pursuit angles and has a very high motor. He has one of the quickest first steps of any prospect in the country. He defeats blocks with ease and is a very good tackler. Rarely do you seem him attempting to arm tackle the ball carrier. Asante almost always gets his helmet and shoulders in the right place to make the tackle. He has a really high football IQ and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. When he does make the tackle, he brings some power. Asante hits hard."

 

[MiramarVol]

Sounds like he tackles better than 90% of our current LB corps.

 

[bignewt]

This kid isn't a reach at all.

 

[Vol Main]

Asante looks killer. Hope he clears a date to give Tennessee an OV. jmho

 

[jwilliams]

Any of you guys been back to his 247 page? It says he moved up over 1100 spots and is a top 300, 4 star LB now...

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Reminds me of Greg Miclisse....

Agree

Take on Von Miller glasses alone

Trust the new Vols Staff. They got's this.

 

[TennGentry]

Seems like we would be after this dude.

Noticed a paywall article about a LB visiting this weekend and it looked like Asante. We all want HT, but a finish with Asante and Russell would be respectable.

Edit: N/M The article title said he was from GA.

That's the 2020 kid from Creekside, Tyson Meguiez (sic)
