Well deserved by both.

Lucky to have them on the team.

We have proven to be a much-diminished offense without Cooper in there at center. I only hope he can stay healthy.

And I'm really excited to see what kind of havoc Pearce can create this season -- and how it might help some others on the d-line to stand out.

Glad to see these two young men getting the recognition they deserve. They are both Captain material and anchors on each side of the ball for us. Go Vols!

 

[General Jack]

Multiple first team All-Americans, just like it used to be.

 

[JohnWardForever]

I had no idea that Mays was being considered for All American honors, great for him! I know for sure that our OL was completely different without him in there. I hope he has a 100% healthy senior season.

Hammer the over. The only way we lose 4 games is an epic rash of injuries.

Mr Pearce still has much growth to come in his game expect and even bigger year from Him. COOPER has what NFL Teams like at Center Captain of the Offense. Both will have big years. In CHRIST Alone

Cade’s talent was always obvious. It’s been really cool to see the way Cooper has developed. He got forced into playing very young, and didn’t always look great in those early days. Once his size and strength caught up with his understanding of the game, he was a force to be reckoned with. Great to have him in Orange.

Vols really need a full season of good health out of Cooper Mays this year.

That was the good days. Anyone know the last time this happened?

Antone Davis was a 1st team AA in ‘90 and Charles McRae 3rd team in ‘90. That’s my best guess but Ive been wrong before .
