Who has a break out season this year?

[FLVOL_79]

For some reason I thought u had to be 21 to be eligible for the NFL draft. But I've been wrong before 😃

23 I believe.

I swear this thread has happened like 4 times already this summer

And you participated in it again anyway. :clapping:

 

[KingtUT]

Josh Dobbs - 3200 yards passing, 800 yards rushing, 40 combined TDs
Jalen Hurd/Alvin Kamara - 2000 yards rushing, 20 TDs (combined)
Marquez North - 1000 yards receiving, 10 TDs
Kahlil McKenzie - 8 sacks, 15 tackles for loss (All-SEC 1st team)
Todd Kelly Jr. - 7 ints (leads SEC)

Results like these and we end the season as National Champs.

Evan Berry>>>Simply because it think he will have several picks and pick 6, the only down fall with this pick I believe he will play on Sutton side which a lot of teams will avoid.

 

[MattScantland]

Bold prediction... Cortez McDowell will be this year's JRM.

 

[KBVol]

23 I believe.

Only 3 years out of highschool. Don't believe there's a minimum age per se, could be wrong.

 

[etcolton]

Evan berry and gaulden.

 

[gunner]

The entire team, and the Vols win the SEC!

 

[VonVol]

23 I believe.

Amobi Okoye was drafted in the first round out of Louisville a few years ago at age 19.

Amobi Okoye was drafted in the first round out of Louisville a few years ago at age 19.

Never heard of him. I had read once upon a time that you didn't have to go to college to play ball but had to be at least 23 if you didnt have X amount of college time.

I pick North -- he is healthy now and rooming with Dobbs plus the NFL is close

 

[VonVol]

Never heard of him. I had read once upon a time that you didn't have to go to college to play ball but had to be at least 23 if you didnt have X amount of college time.

I've never heard of that rule before. Not saying you're wrong, I've just never heard it. Everything I could find says it's three years removed from high school. No age requirement at all.

 

[FïreBall]

I am going to pick several..

Ethan Wolf

Kendall Vickers

Colton Jumper or Darrin Kirkland Jr. (having a heard time with this one with LWSVOL bringing up CJ :loco

....and the entire OLine!!! :rock:

 

[LWSVOL]

Thanks, LWS. So it must be a matter of counting the number of seasons of football passed. Otherwise, that redshirt sophomore wouldn't quite have hit 3 years since HS graduation yet, since the draft comes every April and most high schools don't graduate until May.

Right? Or am I missing something?

If that's right, then there's no "NFL advantage" to being an Early Enrollee. Three football seasons is still three football seasons.

3 football seasons after the players high school class graduates. Early entry means nothing

 

[LWSVOL]

Never heard of him. I had read once upon a time that you didn't have to go to college to play ball but had to be at least 23 if you didnt have X amount of college time.

Eric Swann never played in college because he couldn't qualify. played semi-pro after high school and was drafted by the Cardinals 2 years after his high school graduation. Of course he was not eligible for any college once he started semi-pro.

After last season it should be easy to say our entire O line has a breakout season, at least we all hope so.

I think our TE's will breakout too simply because DeBord will want more pressure on the D and we'll see more longer routes from our WR's.

WR's I have to say Croom will finally learn how to use his big body to block off DB's and show the talent we all know he has.

Malone will finally know the playbook, be stronger and will, hopefully, not get injured like last season and he'll show his stuff and become a name well known.

On our D I think it will simply be our entire D line rotation that will make all the other positions much easier.

By the end of the season I think BEAST will be the only way to describe our D line rotation.

This is the season we start to see a BREAKOUT of Tennessee footVol all over the field so enjoy it people, it's been a long time coming.

#BrickbyBrick...VFL...GBO!!!

Dontavius Blair and Dillon Bates.

i think for the most part, a lot of the "known" commodities, i'm assuming will take care of business. and while i agree on Josh Malone and Ethan Wolfe in particular, i think if we can have a couple of guys like this have big seasons, that's going to be the difference in having a good season vs. what could be great.

that said, i think it will be difficult, even if these two do have great years, for them stand out above many of the names already mentioned. though i'd give Bates the better chance since Blair may or may not even get on the field. but if that kid could "get it", things could look up fast.
