‘18 GA WR Jordan Young (FSU signee)

[BigOrangeTrain]

So...

 

[wrangler]

And of course 247 composite ranks him .0002 points away from being a 4*. Literally. They have his numerical at .8898

247 has him at 92, and his composite was over 92 earlier today. Not sure what other sites are included in the composite, but they apparently added at least one other rating today, and espn hasn't even ranked him yet.

I don't see a page for him on rivals, though I thought someone said earlier that they had him rated.

Just heard Barton Simmons say the didn’t even know who he was until just very recently. That Callahan alerted the guys at 247 about a couple of players down in Georgia, just outside of Atlanta....and that they should really take a look at this WR.

Said he didn’t attend any camps, that they just started doing their homework on him, looked at his film (no word if they consulted with D4H btw), checked him out to see if he played/excelled at any other sports....saw that he was the Class 6A highhurdles state champ and that he ran 10.6 or so in the 100m. Said he has extraordinary ball skills that you can’t be taught, “you either have the or you don’t”.

So bottom line, they just found out who the kid is and started doing their homework on him and really had no choice but to grade him up as a 4 star the more they dug into him and what he can do.

Per website, Young states he has been timed at 4.43 in the forty.

SIAP. Nice write up on him. Looks like a good one judging by who reached out after we discovered him

Jordan Young’s highlights are bananas. Tennessee was 1st to discover him - SBNation.com

Boom!!! Good find!!

 

[KINGSVOL]

This one is worth buying another trailer!

Y’all really believe this dude better than Copeland or y’all just biased?

Maybe I heard wrong, but I heard this guy had all the tools to be a five star if he had gone camping. Now don’t get me wrong, I’d take Copeland because he’s worth the risk, but at least Jordan Young isn’t a drama king like Copeland. You always fear those types of guys could be busts in the back of your head. But, he’s trending toward Bama, so I have no doubt if he goes there that Copeland will be great because of Saban’s program.

 

[Orange Studs]

YES! YES! YES! Great find by our staff !

Welcome to VOLNATION MR YOUNG !!!

At that time, 247 was the only site that had him rated. So his 247 & Composite scores were the same.

Rivals rated him earlier today as a 5.5 which brought down his Composite

Boom!!

Long strider never look fast running

 

[UTVolax24]

Great pickup.

I hope Jennings is on defense in a Ronnie Harrison role. 😎😎😎😎

Yes! I want to see Byrd, Jennings and Warrior in the secondary next year so bad.

Oh and..... BOOM!!!’

 

[Jackcrevol]

Muy interesante.

Gotta trust the staff here. Wished we had gotten Copeland dude is a gamer.

Thanks. Still don't see him listed on the Rivals commit page for UT.

 

[JazzMaster001]

This is awesome. Great job by our coaching staff and welcome to the UT family Mr. Young!

 

[Rishvol]

I think the staff will take one more receiver if they can get it. Outside Johnson there isn't anyone who has showed they can be a go to guy especially not knowing if Jennings will make it through or to the season.

Paul George is nervious

What am I missing here?

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Should be a Top 100 player.

Reminds me of Justin Hunter

 

[Jackcrevol]

Ok. Watched highlights. y'all's gushing about how good this kid is made me watch....

couple things for discussion -
1- that music made me want to break things.
2- hot bad is his competition? smurf patrol.
3- kid is a playmaker - seems to have an extra gear. he really is athletic. hes a giant among kids, so, hard to tell how good he truly is - the competition looked bad.
4- good ball skills and body control. liked the fade passes. Reminds me of???? Robert Meachem. 🤔 i went there.

Reminds me of Justin Hunter

Justin Hunter ran a timed 4.4, was a long jumper. freakish athlete but had tiny ankles. Hunter is good for one or two long passes a game then he needs ice.

 

[kclout]

UF fan here and I thought you guys were just homers on this one, hadn't watched his film and like every fan base anyone they land he's gonna be good. I stand corrected, film is amazing and I don't know how after watching this anyone would think Copeland is better. I've said all along UT ain't getting Copeland, just didn't know you guys would get a better prospect. Kid is the real deal and ain't looking foward to facing him.

Justin Hunter ran a 4.3 and was a long jumper. freakish athlete but had tiny ankles. Hunter is good for one or two long passes a game then he needs ice.

At TN before the ACL he was unstoppable.

At TN before the ACL he was unstoppable.

for half a season? Florida's press man has been our undoing for nearly 15 years. It took our best TN team in decades and their worst team to finally best them. (which was awesome btw).
