Basilio reported on his blog that the staff are going to evaluate this guy during the season and could very well offer him. Pretty much the same for the other schools interested.

Darian is having an amazing year. Friday night he threw a touchdown with 5 seconds left in the first half, the ball traveled 68 yards in the air. It was a big time throw that some NFL QB's could not make. He released it at the opposing team's 24 and the receiver caught it at the 8 yard line. That play alone should get him noticed. Also, Clinton played at Kingsport D-B and their back, Weston Hazelhurst, is WAY better than the Sensabaugh kid that everyone is talking about. Between Stone and Hazelhurst Clinton has two kids that can really play. I am wondering why they seem to be under the radar? Stone is a tremendous athlete that could play DB if necessary, but that would be a waste of tremendous arm strength. Hazelhurst is in the mold of the Reveiz kid, but more athletic. Someone should take a chance on both of those players they are two top tier players in East Tennessee. As the season has progressed they both may be top 5 in East Tennessee,

both of those players are outstanding....Weston has been a hoss since he 1st stepped on the field...injuries have been his problem....and I agree that Weston is a better natural RB than Chris...schools will recruit Chris as an athlete...thus I belive and have said several times.....that he may be better suited as an LB in college...

Played them in a jamboree my senior his freshman year and the kid stood out compared to the older players. He is really talented and will do big things at UT or not. The kid can play ball. I hope UT doesnt pass up and he turns out to be another Randall Cobb type.

If the staff watches him this year and offers him would it be at QB? I mean i have seen him play and he is an amazing athlete. he has a gun on him also. he is not the CLK type of QB but he would be a nice add at DB maybe?

Trust me this kid is not DB material for a D1 college. I played with him and if he doesn't get recruited as QB he won't go to that school because he knows someone needs a QB such as himself. Having said that he's also too slow to play DB because he runs a 4.6. Idk who put he runs a 4.28 but that's not even close to accurate unless he's shaved .32 seconds off his 40 time in the past year which I highly doubt as he never does any sort of speed training. So he'll go QB or nothing trust me I know him personally and he's a good friend.

Sounds like you really think highly of him.

A REAL 4.6 time is actually not bad for a DB. 40 times are so overrated. You sound like a jealous teammate to me bud.

I do think very highly of him. He's by far the best quarterback at that age I've seen play, and has great intuition. I'm not necessarily saying he's too slow but he's not ideal and some team will pick him up as a QB long before DB. He's not a defensive guy is all I'm saying. Great passer and see's the field very well. The only reason his completion percentage isn't outstanding is because he knows to throw it away rather than try to throw into double coverage or take a sack. You're misunderstanding what I mean.

I'm not a teammate anymore for one. And I'm not jealous because that would not make sense for me to sit here and just state facts. If I was jealous I would say i run faster am better, etc, and that is not the case because he is better than me at what he does. Though I did run a 4.67 but that's neither here nor there and not the point. That was two years ago when I played with him and I've kept up with him and talk to him all the time about where he wants to go to college etc. I played defense he played Offense and we were the respective leaders of our side of the ball. I'm just saying that the 4.28 is not true.

People are saying give this guy a scholly but then want to talk bad about Bo Wallace getting a scholly. This kid maybe as an athlete but not a QB or maybe even a walk on.
