'14 TN DB Todd Kelly Jr. (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[RichRollin]

I wondered how long it would take you to respond to that.

Yeah, had to look for some vehicles and then went to Dandridge for some golf yesterday.

 

[CAVol]

Saw him at the game last night. He's huge. Gave him a go vols in passing.

Yes, I saw him at Fulton /Powell game and did the same. Dudes neck was as big as my thigh.

Will he be the best DB for us since Eric Berry?

Yes, IMO.

Edit: I forgot about Gaulden. I think he's vastly underrated! Not saying he'll be better than Kelly. But I think Kelly and Gaulden are both gonna be remembered for a long long time.

"Kelly had 16 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown in a 21-7 loss to Baylor. He tallied six total tackles on defense. Next up is CAK on September 13th."

Saw him after the game and he is every bit of 6'0-6'1.

That photo will probably be used with our next commit, with a "deal with it" caption.

Scout.com: Kelly Jr. motivated by competition

Mainly focused on recruiting dlineman because that will make his job a lot easier. He said he needs to get Jalen Hurd to recruit a little harder with his big name. Loves competition, assumes we are taking a safety in 2015 so that will help push him even more. Wants to make a name for himself when he gets to UT, and not necessarily be known as his dad's son. Has a great relationship with the coaches and feels like he is on the team already. Up to around 200 lbs

TKjr is about as ready as they come for D-1 college football. Physically anyways.

Man, I forget just how good of a football player TKjr is.

I cant wait to have him at Safety.

 

[BIG ADAM]

Best player of the class so far, hands down. Thought it ever since he committed.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I can see him starting on safety next year for us. Looks like he could play in the SEC already.

I disagree. We have 2 very good young safteys that he will have to beat out. He will give us excellent depth IMO

This. Randolph and McNeil will be a good duo for us the next couple years. Kelly and McDowell will definately be in the rotation though

 

[Smokeytom]

TK just looks different. His highlight tape just sticks out of all the others to me. I think it's in his long stride and the way that he makes cuts. He really looks like a special player.

Dude has that "it" factor. Plays with a nasty attitude which we have lacked for quite some time. CBJ will find a place to put him on the field next year. Put McNeil at FS, TK jr at SS. Our DBs will be a strength next year. Wouldn't be surprised to see more nickel defense.

 

[RichRollin]

I love TK2 and I think he's gonna be an all American on The Hill, I do. But I'd be utterly shocked if he surplanted a veteran Brian Randolph or McNiel.

Where is your best safety and leader Randolph going to be? Watch for TKjr in some big nickel sets early.
