'14 GA OL Orlando Brown (Signed with Oklahoma)

Orlando Brown (Zeus) ‏@ZEUS__78 11s
"Death before dishonor"

Boom, he's a fan of Five Finger Death Punch. Such a good band.

Lol just read this. Last album was meh, and they shouldn't have tried a Cool J song, but overall a good band.

 

[OddFuture]

Maybe a jab at Lambert?

I sure hope so

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Bloodlines tell me this isn’t going to be a 280-lbs. guy, ever. Nor should he be. If he gets into that 310-320 range I can see him contributing in the rotation this year. Hope the work on agility shows quickly.

It’s kind of wishful thinking, but I hope he’s standing right behind Blair taking notes the entire time. Sure would be nice to know who the backup left tackle would be for a change.

Really doubt you see him in the rotation this coming yr.

Really doubt you see him in the rotation this coming yr.

If he's further along than many expect, he could take on a Wiesman-esque role in some special teams and whatnot.

But I agree, I'd imagine they try to redshirt him and get him a year in the strength and conditioning program before he plays.

I'd expect Coleman Thomas and maybe Raulerson to get the most PT of our true freshmen OL.

Happy to see him doing well and getting some recognition.

"Orlando Brown just checked in. Very solid to Tennessee. He has done a spectacular job of reshaping his body over the past couple years. He is now 338 and looks much leaner."

-Chris Nee

 

[Ron Swanson]

Very nice

 

[Blake25p]

I'm willing to bet that this guy jumps in the rankings.

Awesome news! Thanks for the info TCV :hi:

 

[ALLVOL-24-7-365]

This kid has a lot of self discipline,with good coaching will be all SEC !

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

That size has got to have the coaches drooling. He's going to get some good match ups. Should tell us where he's really at.

 

[StoVol]

Is Orlando still 6'7"? Wondering if he's done growing height wise

 

[volfrk86]

Thats awesome he will be a great tackle for us

 

[volfanCLT]

Great news. Kid is putting in work

 

[buffaloblue]

A kid of a weight program here and this kid could be unreal.

Really curious how he looks tonight.

I hope with a with a strict plan from the S&C staff he is 315 by the start of camp.

With his frame he doesn't need to carry any extra weight.

 

[engineerVOL]

Wow, he looks great in the picture. Sounds like he has the "want-to." To be honest, i've forgotten about him for the last several months. Awesome to see some positive news out of his camp.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

If this kid was able to lose so much weight I'm high school through training and discipline, imagine what he'll be able to do with a college strength and conditioning program.

We may see him at 6'7-6'8 315 of pure muscle after a year or two in the program.

 

[matts42012]

Nee again stated today how much Orlando had completely changed his body. I expect him to jump up to a 92 on 247 and get his 4* on Rivals. That is his correct ranking. He is a talented athlete.

 

[RockCityVol]

6-7" and 338. Good grief. Donations better increase so we can feed these thoroughbreds.

 

[TMatthews19]

Looks like someone wants to make an immediate impact on our O-line!

Tennessee*commitment*Orlando Brown*(Suwannee, Ga./Peachtree Ridge) has unreal size at 6-foot-8, 340-pounds. He didn’t win every rep but you can see the upside this left tackle has.

-Jamie Newberg, scout

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

Orlando Brown*didn’t have a perfect day but he showed enough to impress. He’s a massive left tackle prospect that’s 6-foot-8, 340-pounds. This*Tennessee*Volunteer commitment from the Peach State is long and has good feet. He shows good balance and the ability to slide in pass protection. He’s far from complete but has a ton of upside. Brown needs to hit the weights and bulk up.

-Jamie Newberg, scout

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

“Man, I just really liked that coaching staff,” Brown said. “Me and coach Jones clicked right away.“I love what they are doing with that program. Tennessee has always developed NFL guys and offensive linemen, I really look forward to being there.”

“Love it,” Brown said. “Every D1 program is searching and working for that national championship. Tennessee is no different. That’s where we are headed. The team, the coaches, the recruits and everyone involved with the program is working towards just that.”

I thought everyone was saying he needs to lose weight?
