Wow.

Also, they were at the BGA game to see Maddux Porter, the 2029 stud.

This is one of the many things I LOVE about our current staff. Heupel and company bust their rearends to recruit talented players. Something we didn't see as much of in the days of Doolittle, Butch, and Cornbread. Heupel and his staff have brought over a lot of blue chippers to Knoxville to play for our Vols and wear the white helmets that don the orange power T.

Heup is recruiting like Fulmer in his prime. The hustle never stops

Wasn't it the 2011 cycle where Dooley didn't bother signing a single O-Linemen?

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Peyton was at the Baylor-McCallie game tonight

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Glad they're out on the trail. That's the lifeblood of the program.

Not try to nitpick but that's a lot of ground to cover - Knoxville to Greensboro to Roswell GA in one day
How is that even possible logistically

Yep.

We are returning our entire Oline next year except LT Heard who will go pro. RT Sanders will move to LT and probably Perry moves to RT where he has played well all season for us!! We also have 3 bigtime Oline recruits coming in next year in the 2026 class. OT Blair, OT Shabazz, and 1 more I cant remember. We have one of the best Olines in the SEC and country this year. Have some talented underclassmen as well. Looks like we are gonna be set at Oline for the next several years. Need to grab a couple Dtackles and a Safety or 2 from the portal. We are set everywhere else IMO for 2026 and beyond

** also we are gonna put more players in the NFL than any year under CJH this year

Hood
Kitselman
Heard
Josephs
Brazzell

Probably
Aguilar
Moi
Hobbs?

During the day visits vs attending a game visit. Come on, man.
