'14 FL LB Jakob Johnson (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[mamba11]

or "Grow" into a DT

He'll play the position he is told....

My personal opinion is, that de would be a great career chance for jj....perfect constitution ..no doubt.

Will see but be sure....he'll do whatever team needs ..... with 100 % execution.....sometimes we had to stop him cause he is like a diesel.....he runs, and runs....and runs.....one time he was jogging to practise about 10 miles ....and practised two hours of football after that.....had to protect that guy from himself

Don't know who you are mamba, but everything you've said about him makes me wanna hit something already (in a good way) ! He's an animal!!

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

The Boz approves

Bo Jackson does not!

 

[Smokey49]

I had a strong feeling he would be the "early buzz" guy based on his size and athleticism. Let's hope it transfers to the field.

Speaking of, I like to get an early buzz going in Saturdays. Typically have the tent up and a mimosa/bloody in hand by 8:30. Go Vols.

Bloooody, buuuddddy! Perfect start to the morning. Spicy with olives, damn good. Had one with bacon in NO, pretty tasty, too.

He's JJ's coach in Germany.

Maybe just maybe, Mamba is Jakob! Lol wouldn't that be funny! "He is like a diesel!"

 

[namasteVOLfans]

Saw him eating at Vol Hall the other day. Dude looks like a beast already.

I would bet that he is groomed at AJ's backup, and that's where he plays this year.

We will have a ton of options at OLB with Maggitt, JRM, Weatherd, Bates as well as Mouhon and Bryant capable of playing there. Mouhon and Bryant could also play inside but they won't be here in the spring. With Harris leaving, you gotta have someone ready and JJ is the most ready right now.

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

Doug Matthews said he will definitely be a MLB, likely AJ's backup. Extremely talented and will replace AJ next year

And he's only played football for a year.

I'm excited to see this guy after he's been coached up.

This mean Bates is gonna be in an OLB role, or more just a praise of Johnson's potential?

Bates was always gonna be an OLB.

 

[005]

Bates was always gonna be an OLB.

I had mlb in mind for him for some reason. My bad.

Guess the athleticism does play well there.

 

[PrattvilleVol]

Gotta call him Blitzkreig! Go follow him @JohnsonJakob on Twitter.

Might that be offensive, or rude?

 

[mamba11]

Might that be offensive, or rude?

hm.....in germany it would be impossible.the reason is,that"blitzkrieg" is word, directly connected with the 3rd reich...

so imagine how that works in realtion with jakob....no way. i remember when jakob was in trouble with some neo-nazi kids over here. not a funny thing at all. they use words and symbols like "blitzkrieg"...so if you call jj by a word which is used bei rasist kids... is it a good idea ? but this is just the german view on this topic...so please don´t be annoyed :no:

 

[DeusExMachina]

Better nickname: "Zerstörer der Welten".

 

[amazingGRACE]

[Go Fight Win]

probably going to call him Jakob, not a smart life choice to make a 6'4" 240 lb human being mad at you

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Germatron, IMO

 

[Phat-Phil]

Better nickname: "Zerstörer der Welten".

Since we know what that means and how to pronounce it...it would be a great nickname!

Thats Mr Jakob


Some other names I'd like to call em...

VFL
All sec
All American
Champion.

 

[RikidyBones]

Might that be offensive, or rude?

As a first generation German American, some people will find it offensive due to the history and connection of the word. However, some just won't care. IMO, it's not worth testing.

Sorry if this has been asked. Does Jacob already have a nickname ?
