12 TN RB I'tavius Mathers

[UTMVol76]

The thread that keeps on giving.

No, this is.

 

[VolFromNashville]

Bump. Sorry had to do it.

 

[VolsByNature]

Dudes..?

 

[therickbol]

When did he quit the football team? That never happened, when I went to Blackman ...

It did happen. He was mad about not being the #1 RB early in his career and quit.

@Kreager: BREAKING: Former Blackman RB I'Tavius Mathers has announced he is transferring from #OleMiss #HottyToddy

Would TN be interested?? What's your thoughts?

 

[SDV]

No room

 

[volme]

Too late for him here. Got too much talent coming in at RB to where we wouldn't need him and doubt he'd wanna be in the competition for playing time.

 

[PrattvilleVol]

Too small and proved to be ineffective in the SEC at OM. He had his chance. No thanks.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Plus, he's have to sit for a year and I think we got the pipeline goin now. Sorry, but he missed the boat, first time around.

5'11" 200 is too small?

Granted his career has been less than stellar

 

[volatil]

Think he ends up at MTSU

My bad...Got him confused with Brian Kimbrow. Still a bust.

Yeah he hasn't lived up to the hype. My kid knows him. I'll ask him what he's heard.

 

[CJBlaze]

Missed the train!

 

[volatil]

Y'all forget who the coach was when he was going through the recruiting process. Dooley neglected Middle Tennessee. Hurd even said he didn't hear much from him.

I'm in no way advocating for him to come to UT. I'm just pointing out how bad Dooley was.

Led the team in rushing for 2013. Career average of 5.6 yards per carry. Doesn't seem as bad as this thread would lead to believe.

Career average is skewed by his 2012 season. He only had 264 yds in 2014...3 yrs in. So yeah he's as bad as this thread implies

 

[LotteryPick]

Mathers is underutilized.

 

[Spirit_of_98]

Played at Blackman and graduated a couple years ahead of him. Never had any interest in UT. Was and still is an amazing athlete, but he'd never come here if he was able to, and I don't think we'd even take him with what we have coming in. Good luck to him.

 

[kwebbvols2344]

He would be way down on the depth chart. Pass.

AJ Johnson has a better chance taking carries in 2015 than this guy will as a VOL

 

[VolGee4]

That could make 2 OM running backs to transfer. While it's not official yet, there are strong indications that Dodson may transfer to Memphis.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Dodson already has transferred. OM is down 3 of their top 5 runners if you include Bo Wallace. They have a QB mess and now a RB situation.
