CBS doesnt even have Joey in top3 transfer QBs...

[marcusluvsvols]

What a joke.

Joey leads the SEC in TD passes. Not the guy at Oklahoma that gets all the press.

Yall realize that if Matthews just catches that WIDE open 60+yard TD, and the ref on the sideline had the balls to overrule that crap OPI penalty on Brazzell that Joey would have had almost 500yds passing and 4TDs, as well as a rushing TD? He STILL finished with 330yds and 3 total TDs to go with 2 picks that were tipped balls that could have been caught.

Joey is on pace for a 3600yd, 36 passing TD regular season. Plus his rushing TDs. We need to knock off Bama on the road and get his hype train rolling for the Heisman. Sadly, if Gilbert didn't choke his kidneys up and miss that FG...our VOLS are undefeated ranked in the top5 and Joey is a national sensation.

Yeah but former Vols get shoutouts. Let Joey keep doing what he is doing and in the end no one will be able to deny him.

Also...former VOL QB Kaidon Salter should have stayed at Liberty. He put up big numbers there and won a lot of games. He could probably have been a late round draft pick if he stayed. Instead he let Deion talk him into transferring to Colorado for a 1 year paycheck and to be "the guy" after Shedeur was gone.

Deion benched Salter after only 2 starts. There went any chance of a shot in the NFL. Short sighted choice by KS looks like its gonna cost him dearly. I pulled hard for the kid at Liberty, my son recently got his masters degree there and my daughter left Christian HS to do their dual enrollment homeschool HS/undergrad program. We have been very happy with Liberty fòr both kids.

Salter has played in every game and started the past two.

Hopefully he can hang on to that. I still dont think he sniffs the NFL now. You don't get benched in your "contract" year and then get drafted...not when you're already playing 2nd and 3rd class competition. He should have stayed at Liberty IMO.

There's a very real undercurrent of disrespct for anyone in Coach Huepel's offense. "They're all system player. It's all Heupel's offense, not the player. They could plug anyone in and have the same results." This is of course not only stupid, but extremely stupid. But, that's sports media for you.

It's sort of similar to how the talking heads treated kids who played for Mike Leach.

If there were any indication that he could replicate his 2023 numbers maybe, but this Liberty team is not that Liberty team. His numbers now aren't far from his 2024 numbers and it's against better competition.

While I agree this stigma exists...its days are numbered IMO. We put a WR in the NFL every year. Sometimes 2. Our starting RBs get drafted too in middle rounds by the Browns, Dolphins. We will put Kitselman in the NFL this year at TE, also Brazzell at WR who will be a top3 choice at WR for sure if he keeps it up.

Check out this list of 2024 thru 26 WRs and tell me how many you think make the NFL"
*Brazzell. 2024
Matthews
Staley
Smith. 2025
Jackson
*Jefferson
Dodson
Keys. 2026
Bey
King
Moa

I have been a VOLS fan for 48 years of life. Seen All Americans, All SEC WRs become Pro Bowlers time and again. I don't know that we have EVER landed this many highly ranked WRs in 3 years. Even when we were WRU in the 90s. Never. The WR class has also improved every year from 24 to 25 to 26 with us signing not only the consensus #1WR in Keys, but the #1 WR class in the country in 26 as well. Every one of Keys, Bey, King, and Moa could end up being NFL WRs. All of them are crazy athletes. The "lowest" rated one of the 4 is Legend Bey...and he is the fastest. His 10.2 in the 100M likely makes him the fastest player on the team the day he steps on campus. He isnt a skinny WR either. He plays QB in HS and returns kicks. He has the ball in his hands on every snap. Hope he takes to WR quickly, he is a great athlete. The other 3 in 2026 are already dominant at camps against D1 defensive backs etc.

I don't see how people can keep up the lie for long that UT athletes are "system" players. We are gonna keep putting them in the League and some of them are sure to excel when they get there IMO.

I don't think it's meant to be a top three as much as just three, but hard to believe they mentioned Nico without Joey.
