From what I heard he had 3 rushing TDs and 1 receiving TD. The 5th TD was a 3 yard TD run by the QB. I think his name is Byrd. Of course that is just what I heard. It doesn't really matter. They were playing Campbell County.

According to the KNS, Blanc had 130 yards on 6 carries for 3 TDs, as well as 2 catches for 48 and another TD. Also had a forced fumble. Good day at the office.

Let me preface what I'm about to say with I fully support Dooley and his staff. They are excellent at finding "diamonds in the rough" (Peterman, Worley, Randolph etc.) however I'm not seeing it with this guy?...

Am I missing something here? I would call him a "good high school football player" Based on his videos anything more than that seems to be a stretch. I can't believe this hasn't been talked about more, especially with how much Devrin Young's recruitment was talked about last year. Devrin is far and away better than this kid. Blanc plays against weak competition, is slow (I'd guess high 4.6-4.7 range) and doesn't look to move great laterally... Devrin was shifty and fast at least.

Obviously we aren't recruiting him as a rb. I just fail to see why he is deserving of a football scholarship to Tennessee. I would assume we are taking him as a LB project maybe if he adds some weight? Can someone fill me in I'd appreciate it.

I have. It's full of people saying he projects as a WR and a S and runs a legit 4.4-4.5?... He will be buried with the talent we already have and are bringing in at WR. As a safety I don't see the lateral quickness and burst when he takes off...

Unless he has gotten faster since his tapes on youtube, there is no way he has the talent to play here. Yes, his stats are good, but look who he is playing... The talent level he is playing against is not very good.

He ran a 4.39 at Virginia tech and went to state last year in track ( don't remember what event ) . Debate his playing ability all you want but he is not "slow".
