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

With showing our lack of speed at LB against Oregon, TKjr could be a candidate for the Will Linebacker.
He has very good cover skills but also plays downhill better than with his hips turned. He can obviously hit.
If Gaulden was at SS, we would have 2 guys that could stuff the run but still cover.

Just a thought

For those that know how DBs work, how would Todd fair as the nickle back? Does he have the coverage skills? Or is that a ridiculous idea?

I could see them using him in three safety sets. Could also so Gaulden used in the nickel with his skill set. I'll say this I'm excited to add these kids around Sutton. Oregon started attacking Coleman and left Sutton's side alone after a big hit and good coverage ability. We got a great young player on our hands.

We'll be fine at LB after this year. Also heard TKjr doesn't really have the frame for that type of move.

I want Kelly locking down the back end. Which is where he will be. An elite secondary is something we've been missing for far too long.

Does anyone remember who Cam was matched up with in the Oregon game?

Was it Addison, Lowe, Huff, or Hawkins?

Hawkins a lot. He punished Lowe for making a catch though. Had that ball to Hawkins not been high I think he could've picked it early in the 1st quarter. Also had nice coverage in the endzone on Hawkins following him across the field. He looked like he belonged on the field Saturday.

I only remember seeing Cam a couple times on a few plays... Which is good I would assume. Hawkins is a big WR like 6'3 or 6'4 I believe.

Yeah Hawkins is big but Cam is a big CB. We did see Coleman getting lit up like a Christmas Tree. Big difference in the two already. We've finally got a guy who can develop into a shutdown CB in Sutton. I'm a bit geeked to watch him play every Saturday.

Not convinced we will be fine, but definitely have better athletes. Depth will be a huge problem for a few years. As for TKJ not having the frame to make the move to WSL, I have no info on that.

Nothing to worry about here...all Vol

Like Gabe Wright or Otha Peters or Dalton Santos?

I sure hope not but all 3 of those were VOL locks; ALL VOL, and a few other overused buzz terms. And all ended up elsewhere. I would love to have TKjr but it ain't over till it's over.

Gabe Wright was never committed to UT iirc. He seemed to be telling players, coaches, etc from both UT and Auburn he was a commit or something.

Not sure what "committed" means to be honest and that is the problem today. You are committed after you sign the LOI.

None of those kids grew up in Knoxville watching their dad run through the T every Saturday. You seriously couldn't have picked 3 more terrible examples for this situation.
