"The defense was very strong, but they are very young so they can only get better as the years go on," DeBerry said. "Now their offense just needs to catch up with their defense so they can be clicking on all cylinders and make the dream work."

"It was great. For them to always have a loyal fan base and to sell out the games it's always great," DeBerry said. "Even though no matter what their record is the fans are always supporting them and behind them. That's great for a university. That's a pro of going to that university, that no matter what the record is you're going to always have loyal fans behind you."

"They see me like a Curt Maggitt. I can play linebacker and get after the passer on third down," DeBerry said.

"The boat ride was great. They had a lot of food on the boat ride and I was getting bigger and bigger by the minute," DeBerry said. "It was a great boat ride and we got to talk to the coaches' families and talked to their wives and we got to see their kids and get that family environment. Then, we got to go to coach Jones' house and see where he lives and he lives in a beautiful home. It was a great experience."

"They're trying to bring Tennessee back and they really want me to be apart of it," DeBerry said. "They really like how I could fit into the defense and the think I can wreak havoc on the defense and coach Jones isn't afraid to play freshmen if they work hard."

"If you come in and work and do the things you're supposed to do you can come in and get some early playing time," DeBerry said. "They're not big on seniority, they are big on whoever comes out there and works hard will get the opportunity to play and I really like that as well."

do we actually have a chance or is this all talk?

It sounds promising, but he didn't give us a list or rank.

We have a chance. We were the favorite for a while during the summer. He's visited UT several times on his own dime. Our recruitment of him seemed to fade after we got some DL and LB commits, and people started to question if we saw him as a tweener. I personally think we need to continue to recruit him since it is no guarantee that Taylor sticks through to NSD if he projects at DE, and we could use another OLB.

Kid goes to my old high school. During fall break I'll see if I can catch him in action. Usually that weekend lines up perfectly with the Hanover game our biggest rival. Let's hope the visit has him thinking a lot.

It has looked for a long time like DeBerry will be heading south or west for his college football career. Tennessee, Texas A&M and Oklahoma are the likely leaders and Alabama is a major wildcard. DeBerry is set to use his last official visit for the Iron Bowl at the end of the month and commit in mid-December. Penn State, Virginia and Virginia Tech are still in the mix, but it will be tough for them to move up DeBerry's list.

If we could land DeBerry and Walker to go along with Ford, Butcher, Taylor, and possibly Jackson, that may become the nastiest DE haul we have ever had. I'm huge fan of Walker, DeBerry, and Taylor. They can play up or down, and they would provide a lot of options for us going forward.

Any update on if we're still in it with DeBerry? This is one recruit I was really hoping we would land.
