Chris Weatherd is still on board, Tennessee fans. Everything is fine, dont fret, he says. He will not be enrolling in January as previously planned because he needs to finish a few more classes, this is truebut hes still coming to Rocky Top by May, he has the blessing of Butch Jones, and he cant wait to sing with you all next year. He has dealt with rumors lately that he wont be able to transfer or that hes changed his mind on schools.
Thats where everything stands, he emphasized to Saturday Down South. Weatherd is rated the No. 1 junior college outside linebacker in the nation by 247Sports.coms composite ranking. He plays at Trinity Valley Community College in Texas.
Weatherd said he welcomes the passion and interest.
Every now and then its OK, Weatherd told SDS on Wednesday night. Im growing to be an adult, but Im still a teenager. Im not going to change what Im doing or how I do it (with social media). But I know my manners and whats right and wrong, and when people assume thingsI just think thats one thing you dont do. I announced that Im not going to be an early enrollee, and it all happened. Coach Jones knows that I needed to get a few classes in. He just told me Ill need to make as many trips up there as I can get as much of the vibe as I can so Im not out of the loop when I get there.
