Summary Austin Price says:

He spoke to Berry brothers. Said they enjoyed their visit. Says he doesn't see them doing anything anytime soon. Says he'll have full story tonight.

Size-Strength-Speed
Has a thick, sturdy build with adequate height. Might not have the height to add too much more bulk. Shows very good initial quickness to evade the rush and makes a lot of plays with his legs.

Ball Skills
Possess natural ball skills and makes plays after the catch. Can pluck and quickly reach top speed quickly.

Versatility
A safety playing as a Wildcat QB and offensive weapon who is extremely productive. A playmaker under center and in the slot, but he has upside to develop on defense despite limited snaps there. Serviceable in the passing game to keep you guessing, but his feet are why he is at QB. A bit of a short-strider, and while it does not hinder his lateral agility in a short space, it could be a transition issue for him on defense if matched up vs. quicker and more fluid slots and backs from a safety position. Might end up as a strong safety/hybrid type.

Big Play Ability
Works out of the shotgun and as a runner he is very dangerous. Shows some sudden change-of-direction given his size and is elusive on the perimeter because he possesses a live arm that is capable of making throws across his body and downfield on the run. Can create on the fly when things break down and will show flashes of making very impressive plays in the passing game when you think you have him corralled. Once he gets into the open field he has shown he can be a home run threat and runs fairly well.


Bottom Line
Berry is an upside guy on defense with more definitive offensive traits now due to experience. Solid prospect with some exciting traits that will garner BCS interest. We need to further investigate defensive reps and production as the bulk of his game comes on offense.

I wonder how quickly he can reach top speed?

Berry, Berry quickly....

I chatted up Evan for a bit while he was here, very nice kid and looks EXACTLY like Eric, only a bit smaller. He obviously loves it here, but like what's been reported he said he and his brother would probably wait a while before doing anything. While I still believe they end up at UT, I'm still blown away that they haven't committed yet. These are two guys that you would think would have jumped on board early.

Faster than a Pro Bowl safety from the Chiefs

Sounding really good for the home team. The only school they visited this summer is Tennessee. The only other visit planned may be to Florida on Friday but he doesn't know.

 

[PassedOutAwake]

just said UT has the best fans

 

[volunteerlane]

Tennessee has the best fans in the nation.

Is UGA recruiting Elliott too? If so, how is Richt going to remember whose name and stats he has written on which hand?

RB is fine with me. I'd prefer CB but his speed would be fun to watch at RB. Paul Hurd Berry would be an excellent haul.
