'15 TN OL Riley Lovingood (UT Signee, 2/4/15)

[Nocleats]

Now ranked as #1 DS in the nation.

 

[Nocleats]

Last name is awesome and he plays a position that is undervalued by many IMO! Add on to that he is a TN boy and I think we got a winner!

Exactly, Young man is a legacy vol as well.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Horky's replacement.

 

[Vols4us]

This is a like all the way. Hope it happens.

Always need a good long snapper. After giampapa is gone. It'll be a huge competition there.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Didn't we get a long-snapper walk-on in the '13 class?

IIRC, we got a preferred walk on for this last class that was one of the best.

Horky? He decided to take the scholarship offer at Oklahoma.

He took a scholarship from the sooners.

OK. Thanks. Can't blame him for that.

Always take the bird in hand before the two in the Bush. Horky made a very smart decision.

Can't wait til one of the Berrys meets him across the middle.





(it's gonna be fun saying that again all the time)

Sooners got themselves a good one here. Smart move on his part.

They did, but long snappers are a dime a dozen. I can teach you how to do it actually. . I want one who played linebacker.

Some recruiting news...

Earlier in the week Tennessee offered 2015 instate long-snapper Riley Lovingood and today his father texted me and told me that Riley has told Butch Jones he's going to be a Vol.

With Horky heading to Oklahoma, the Vols felt they very much needed to add a long snapper in the 2015 class and Lovingood is widely regarded as a top three snapper in the country, if not the the top guy. He has shown out in camps all across the country, most recently in Las Vegas and Atlanta.

He's currently on campus right now for junior day and we will catch up with him after the visit, but just wanted to let you guys know.

On scholarship?

He's taking a 'ship?

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

On scholarship?

Rivals shows he has a UT offer. I would think it's a scholarship. After having missed on Horkey, the staff may feel they have to spend a scholarship to secure a top DS this year.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Sounds like it. The kid that went to Oklahoma would have likely been on scholarship in '15 anyway so it's a wash really.

Callahan just tweeted an article about this kid committing. Hook it up

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

Jones, Stewart, Lovingood, and Richmond for the 2015 OL class? All instate. I'll allow it.

This kid cant be a linemen according to you. Hes just a longsnapper.

He's a linemen. A DS is a linemen. Noone said he will be playing OT.
