'15 TN DE Dylan Jackson (former UT commit)

[Nashvegas31]

Nationdom does not trust Saban, Shaw, Miles or butch he only trust Mike Farrell

 

[sanddune50]

Wow. Stanford, Bama, and LSU. Really nice offers for a DL

Not only that all of the smart schools. Vandy, Northwestern, and Duke threw offers his way as well. These are the kind of local kids we should be after IMO.

What is his weight up to?

I believe I read in an article that he was up to about 255 now.

Could not be happier for Dylan. The next J.J. Watts? We better spend time on a thread that deserves the love before one of our arch rivals sneaks in here and picks our pocket.

High football IQ and surprisingly high motor?

No because he's white

Same thing. Oh, and overachiever.

Very coachable, gritty, deceptive quickness---not speed, mind you, but quickness... A real effort guy.

Hours spent in the film room.
Does the little things.

Future in coaching.

I'm sure our activity in this thread will be the deciding factor

Future OT- Book it. See him at 280 this time year

Like most OL a redshirt will be good for him.

I love these guys Butch is bringing in that can play D1 football on either side of the ball.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

I love that Butch is bringing in cerebral players that also have talent.

"It's my hometown team," Jackson said of UT. "Obviously I've grown up here the past couple of years and it's hard not to develop the hype for their traditions and the team.

"This was out of the blue," Jackson said. "I had never talked to them before. I got one of their phone numbers via Twitter and gave him a call. I talked to coach (John) Chavis and he was the one who extended me the offer. He just likes that I'm a good young man and that I play hard and smart.

"I'm committed to Tennessee but I'm still thinking about whether to take visits," he said. "I've been talking to Stanford, Alabama and Vanderbilt as well. I've obviously had the Tennessee offer for a while. Vanderbilt, that was my first offer before this new coaching staff came in. Alabama came in slightly after my commitment to Tennessee and Stanford was a little bit after that."

"It would be exciting to take some other visits and see more of the country," he said.

I admittedly wasn't sold on this guy as a defensive player. But if Chavis, who has a backyard full of 4 stars, and is a notoriously slack recruiter, extended the offer himself? Wow....

 

[butchna]

So?...we don't get to convert him to OT now? :blink:

 

[Glitch]

So?...we don't get to convert him to OT now? :blink:

We, VN, can do what we want. It's just a question of whether those amateur coaches we have will do what we say. :no:

 

[BonesVol]

I really thought Dylan was a VFL??

Who said he wasn't?

Hendrix and Barnett are and the visited while they were committed

Hope Dylan decides not to take other visits. DE is one position where the staff seems to have a lot of options still today IF they needed to take a commitment from another one. I want to see Jackson end up in Orange. If he decides to take some trips, his spot being up for grabs is just how it goes. Be careful Mr. Jackson.
