I'm not really familiar with the whole prep school thing. But will he be playing football at that school this fall? Since I assume he's already played 4 years of high school, how could he play an extra year at prep school and not lose a year of eligibility?

Yes he will play as well as get some college classes out of the way because he already cleared the clearinghouse, talked to Coach Dawson at length, and he was very exited about Coaching Jerome, and Coach Dawson assured Coach Thigpen he will get a polished product when Jerome arrives in Jan

All kinds of awesomeness up in this thread. Major props to Jerome for taking a grey shirt and being a Vol next December. MDO, will y'all come to the spring game this April?

so does that give him 4 to play 4 or will he still have the 5/4 option?

So, say Jerome gets out of this academy in early Dec. and UT goes to a bowl this coming year. Would Jerome be able to come in and practice or would he have to wait until January to join team functions?

MDO is that you in the pic with him? Didnt you say you're his step dad?

If thats you in the pic, he looks awfully like you for you being his step dad.

Not at all, he can use a semester to get himself together, now he may not have to redshiet when he gets there, we knew this was a posibility all along, win win for us.

I am proud to of this staff. To hear from someone involved in the process that our staff has been up front and honest...that is just awesome. And even more awesome is that we have landed a solid player because of it.
