'13 TN DE Jason Carr (UT signee)

[WestTenn]

Is that a Memphis Tigers(travel baseball) hat he's wearing?

It is. He has been playing ball for the Tigers since he was 7 years old.

Thought it looked familiar. My son played travel ball for years...made several trips to Memphis area(Southhaven).

My son and I got to speak with Jason Carr and his father again last night while Jason worked on his speed and agility. Jason is a beast and his foot speed is unreal for a kid of his size.
Jason's father is a stand up man also. I could talk to him all night about the recruiting process and how they love Butch Jones and the University of Tennessee.
Carr and family = VFL.
Thanks again Carr and family!!

Looks like he's 25

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Those long arms remind me of Charles Haley. Dude was a beast.

From BamOnLine -

***Four-star defensive end Jason Carr left his official visit to Alabama ready to switch commitment to UA. Carr was convinced he was the perfect as a 3-4 end in Nick Saban's defense rather than Tennessee's four-man front. But after talking to his parents, he decided to stick with the Vols and attend the same school as his brother which made it a lot more convenient from a family standpoint.

Stupid bammers

Off the field, Charles Haley was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. Bet Jason Carr is too.

Yeah, they didn't want him anyway.

Only a bammer could dream up something this dumb.

According to other parts of story, UA could have basically had any recruits they wanted, including Vonn Bell and Jalen Ramsey. However, with only 25 slots they had to turn several away.

Tigers still around? I remember playing against the Dodgers & Tigers in the State tourney back in '79. Dodgers finished 4th in the World Series that year.

Part of me says they are full of it. Part of me thinks it could be true

or use "perfect" as a noun. What does "the perfect" mean?

This I find more believable than the Carr story. I will give credit where due, Saban and bama are recruiting monsters. It is probably fortunate for the rest of the SEC that he could only take 25.

But, Bama still sucks and buck fama!

Sounds like a used-car salesman line....Carr is perfectly made for the 4-3 and I hope develops into the kind of player that Shaun Ellis (6-5 265 at UT) was for us--and gets drafted in the first round. Go VOLS!

BTW--Ellis was called the Big Katt--

How about Jason "Big Katt" Carr?? :salute:

Just saw the same photo on TN Ducks, West TN. I'm guessing you are a hunter too. Thanks for the info. Carr is my favorite member of this class.

 

[ManningBerry#1]

Athletically Lemond Johnson has the tools to be a very good safety and Corey Vereen is going to surprise some people. According to Rivals we have 6 players that were .1 from being 4 star players. Not sure there's a difference between a 5.7 3 star and a 5.8 4 star but maybe I just want to see the bright side.

The three star commits to us and espn tells them to lower the ranking because they hate us remember lol

Always, always take the high road and come to the conclusion that they are full of it.

Rise To The Top!

Good article

Carr was a longtime Tennessee commitment who told UT's new staff that he had changed his mind and would sign with Alabama. Jones was able to bring him back in the fold, and North surely helped with that.

ESPN NCAAF Learning to relate

Jason Carr is one of my favorite commits...his dad Michael is also a VFL...remember reading that the weekend after his OV, Jason rode a Mega-Bus on his own dime to come back to Knoxville on an UOV to help recruit other recruits on campus...VFL!

Dude took his own dime to help w bell and then he pulled a Benedict Arnold. I would give anything to see the OSU in a bowl if we could turn this **** around

We need to keep this big fella's thread on the 1st page along with all of our other 13 commits.
