'16 JUCO WR Jeff George (UT commit 6/6/15)

[UTMVol76]

Reminds me of Zach Rogers.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Not a burner at all.

My hope for George is that he can be a dominant blocker on the edge and a situational receiving threat. I want him to essentially go post up small corners in the redzone. I don't think Dobbs would try that throw, but Dormady or Guarantano might when they take over. We'll see.

Dobbs throws fades when they are called. Coaches should call them to big WRs and see what happens.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Reminds me of Torrance Gibson, but with a better arm. A little raw at WR, but could grow into it.

 

[bUTchplease2]

Wow, I just watched his highlights and he didn't drop a single pass!

Of course he's not going to drop a pass in his highlights

 

[Roustabout]

Thus the blue font.

Thus the blue font.

I'm new so what exactly does "the blue font" mean?

[allenrikvik]

Wow you went to the extreme here. Lol

For some reason, I thought I read that he ran a 4.4 / 40, which prompted the question. Thinking - 6'6" and 4.4 and 'he did not drop any passes', should equal R Moss or P Burress. Wishful thinking.

Per Hubbs

A newcomer already turning heads is Jeff George, who might have a bit more explosiveness than was initially anticipated based on his film. George is highly athletic and shows an ability to do some good things but must get bigger, faster and stronger. Naturally, though, Josh Dobbs has been working already with the Vols' skill players getting some throwing done.

Per Hubbs

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Does this mean that this kid got a scholarship from a respected D1 program that prides itself on bringing in top-notch athletes and he's not a complete slouch (athletically at least?)

Who would have thunk it?!?!?

Except for y'know... everyone who has ever heard of Bob Welton.

Per Hubbs

Sort of dumb comment. He's real explosive and turning heads, and then it says he has to get faster?? If he's explosive he is plenty fast. So is he or isn't he?:loco:

Explosive means more about initial burst and quick movements IMO and getting faster means his top end speed needs to get better

Speaking of dumb comments....

Hubbs meant that he's a radical terrorist.

 

[BigorangeBoy]

Don't they all want to get faster?

 

[VeryBest]

Hubbs meant that he's a radical terrorist.

As opposed to a non-radical terrorist?

And it is normally this color blue that is used.

I have a class with George... Homie needs to be slamming that peanut butter. To say he's "thin as a rail" is an understatement.

How long you been at UT?

Expectation: In the rotation at wide receiver.

Reasoning: Josh Malone, Josh Smith, Preston Williams and Jajuan Jennings are the only four wideouts that caught a pass last season and will return to the wide receiver corps. Jason Croom has moved to tight end and so that leaves little depth for a staff that wants to play at least eight receivers in a game. George is on campus this spring and will get a head start on the other four wide receiver signees. George should see plenty of opportunities this spring and he could emerge as a nice red zone target. But, reports from campus imply he may be more athletic than people give him credit for. It would be rather surprising if George wasn't helping the receiver group from Day 1 come fall camp.

-VQ.

Man we need him to show up big time.
