It was great as always. Coach Scott is great and funny, and coach Gillespie, my position coach, he and I are really close, Fils-aime said. Just being around them I realize Tennessee is where I really want to be and being with them closed the deal even more.
Fils-aime has also created a bond with current commitments, including quarterback commitment Jarrett Guarantano.
Building a bond with your quarterback is something you really should do. Its a special connection and getting to know who he is and what type of guys he is is something important, Fils-aime said. Im glad that he and I have gotten close because hes a really great guy. And hes funny, really funny. I cant wait to play with him.
Really, Im looking forward to being with the coaches. I love them to death. Whenever I go on my visits to Tennessee I look forward to getting a chance to hang out with them and getting to know them better, Fils-aime said. Im looking forward to seeing all my brothers that I havent been able to see or meet yet.
Fils-aime has been talking to the Tennessee coaches about his role in the offense and he sees himself playing a role similar to Alvin Kamara.
Ive been compared to him quite a bit. Not really by the coaches, theyve mentioned it once. But, the same way they use him is the same way they will be using me, Fils-aime said.
I want to talk to coach about playing on punt block because I love trying to block punts, Fils-aime said. Watch my highlights. I blocked four or five this year.
Those blocks were several of the many highlights Fils-aime produced this past season as he ran for 1,505 yards and 23 touchdowns while catching 14 passes for 375 yards and five more scores.
