Coach Tommy Thigpen on Bates: "Dillon has exceptional speed. He comes from a football background with his dad (Bill playing at Tennessee). He has an exceptional football IQ and will become an immediate impact player for us this season."

I understand VN loves to change recruits positions, but switching an All-American LB to a K is a first for me on here.
 
I am so thankful for all our recruits, but Dillon, TK, Evan and Elliott, Neiko,...those legacies have a special place in my heart because I remember being at Neyland when their Dads played...such amazing memories and they feel like family to me.

Now, for the next few years, I get the joy of sharing this team with my kids and watching them build memories with these guys who they'll have a special affinity for since they'll be in school with them. And that's one of the reasons why college football is the greatest sport on earth.

We really are all a family.
