104.5 this morning: Jalen Hurd

[madbamahater]

Listening to the zone on way to golf this morning the high school football show was talking about local Nashville teams. Jalen Hurd was talked
about in depth. They were talking about how he will most likely play defense at UT. I thought UT recruited him to play RB. Supposedly he is 6'4" about 235-240, per the high school radio guy. They said he will be better on defense than RB in college. Anyone close to him or any locals know more about this? If UT will move him to defense, what will they do about the desperate need at RB?

If 104.5 said it, it must be true

He's too big for RB but he's gonna switch to D and play CB. Lol.

You are suppose to drink during or after your round

Didn't say or suggest this.......but these are people that know the high school staffs.....

What is your educated opinion about where he will play in college?

He'll be a RB only

 

[ACvol3]

U sure they didn't say safety or LB? He is way too big for corner.

 

[Nuctech777]

RB makes way more sense than CB. If he was going to be defense he would be a LB. no need for speculation though, he is RB all the way

madbamahater, you know on EVERY forum, there is always someone who HAS to post a smarta$$ comment

 

[VolFreakJosh]

We need him to play running back the most. Ain't no way defenses would stop him.

 

[feathersax]

Missed that segment. Thanks for sharing. Jalen will be another in the line if great Vol running backs imo.

 

[CountVolcula]

He will play RB first

 

[lovavol]

They said he will play safety for Beech...Murphy Fair said defense in college

 

[PassedOutAwake]

one of the reasons he chose UT is because they are letting him play RB. a lot of the other schools wanted him to play D.

He said the RADIO made that statement. Man, the Big Orange Sheep always attack out of nowhere.

Murphy Fair knows jack-squat about what's going on in college ball. He assumes stuff alot when it comes these HS kids and how they'll be used in college.

"Supposedly he is 6'4" about 235-240"

That is Brandon Jacobs BIG.

 

[Nashvegas31]

104.5 never ceases to amaze me with their stupidity

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

First I've heard that he will play defense. I think the radio personalities had a few before the show started. LOL! Hurd is gonna barrel over some linebackers and such before his career is finished at UT.:rock:

"Supposedly he is 6'4" about 235-240"

That would, indeed, be Brandon Jacobs big, except for the fact that he isn't there yet. The most recent height/weight I recall him being listed at was 6-3, ca. 230 lbs., with the expectation of him playing this fall at 225-228 lbs.

 

[DownTheField]

You Hurd wrong.

 

[rjd970]

RB all the way.

IF...big IF...he plays anything on defense, I would love to see him at safety. Dear lord he would kill some poor receivers.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Keep in mind yesterday we made the top 10 cut for the #1 RB in country Joe Mixon (6'2, 200) out of California who may give us a visit.

His Crystal Ball on 247sports had been predicting Southern Cal but they weren't in his top 10.

 

[BeecherVol]

I heard the same clip. IIRC he said S.

Edit. Murphy Fair made the comment and went on to say that Hurd would slouch some when measured at camps to try and stay under the 6-4 mark. Rather interesting.
