Alex Calleja
5-9, 140
duPont Manual HS, Louisville, KY

FWIW, I read on another UT board that Calleja "...only played one year of football & switched over from soccer but this kid sure has potential and from what I hear is planning to try and walk on."

Hit 3 of 3 FGAs and 33 of 34 PATs:
Alex Calleja - Highlight Videos, Schedule & Roster - Hudl

Calleja tweeted yesterday that he's been accepted into UT's Chancellor's Honors Program.

Can't hurt. Brodus is a former soccer player too.

If he wants to walk on and can help the team, come on over. Nothing to lose for us and everything to gain.

This isn't because the other walk-on's possibly going to Ohio St. is it?

I know historically kickers aren't big guys but this dude is a runt. When is Jeff Hall and James Wilhoit gonna have a love child??

I totally concur. I guess he just doesnt care whether it is a walk on or a heralded recruit. He will go after them. Even if the walk on has already accepted a spot at another school

I hope the skeletons in his closet are discovered someday and he's a future ESPN 30 for 30.

I was curious so I checked Andrew Gantz out on twitter. Looks like he's pretty solid according to his tweets. Swine Meyer.

Sounds solid, but I can't help but wonder if Butch is hedging his bets.

That is what I thought too but I think that the recent developments of Myer offering a walk on has him thinking

He went and visited several days ago and reaffirmed his commitment earlier today. I would be surprised if Gantz left for anything less than a full scholarship. If Meyer offers that, then he should consider taking his talents to OSU. Otherwise, I'm confident he's a Vol.




By the way, I hated OSU before Meyer and hate them even more now. I would hope that we would match the scholly offer to keep him out of Meyer's hands. If not, I can't hate on a kid for taking a free FBS ride.

Straight from Gantz's twitter as of yesterday: @Vols_Recruiting @AGantz3: I would like to make this perfectly clear... I AM A TENNESSEE VOLUNTEER! #thankyou #team117
