How old is this dude

I think he can start drawing his SSI next year lol.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Lmao can’t wait for him to just declare himself for the NFL draft as a 7th round water it at this point

 

[daugag02]

LOL he deleted the tweet from three weeks ago claiming that UGA offered him.

How old is this dude

Old enough to be a grandfather.

I literally remember reading an article about Middleton when he was like 15. It was said that he might be able to make a case for top 5 overall player in the nation (in his recruiting class). Anyway, that never came to fruition and he ended up in junior college. That being said why the hell did he leave here? Some of these just make no sense. RG is flat out the best at getting defensive lineman to the league. Some of these kids are just plain dumb.

Pretty amazing to me schools are still answering his calls.

6-7. 290lb guys aren’t on every street corner. He got horrible advice or decision himself to leave here. He has the physical tools to make a damn good living but must be totally out of it mentally

yep

He played well that 1 yr and left. Did it to himself and his attitude seems to still be terrible



Its time to go to work somewhere.

This thread is a freaking time capsule

 

[allvolrecruiting]

He needs to stick to his 7v7 group he started lol

Ya, and there were a lot of questions about his attitude in high school as well. Seems he always had it physically, but he couldn't pull it all together.

 

[GetEmVols]

Time to hang it up and sell insurance like the other failed athletes

Roof repair/install or lenoir city fence is still on the table.

Where’s Al Bundy?

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Nooooo freaking way

In those 10 years, how many high schools and colleges is that?

 

[ACvol3]

We knew in high school that he was a head case and would be trouble..

 

[Weezer]

I feel bad for him. His life seems so chaotic, and his poor choices have not helped him. He needs a steadying influence in his life.

 

[VolsnCards5]

This dude so old that his recruiting link in OP is to Yahoo! Sports

Athletic 6’-7” 300 lb guys don’t just grow on trees. Shame that he can’t seem to get out of his own way. Good luck young man - hope you eventually figure it out

 

[Nashvegas31]

I hate it for the kid. NFL body and Talent potential but gets in his own way mentally

 

[InVOLuntary]

I was under the impression that he tweeted that leaving the Vols was the biggest mistake he'd made. Am I wrong here?

He may have. But if his attitude was a problem, the coaches aren't about to welcome him back. He left of his own accord. I wish him the best and hope he finds a home to at least finish his education and get a degree. He's sabotaged himself over and over again. That's why I said he needs a steadying influence. Be it religion or a mentor, he seems to need help to get on the right track. I really hope he finds it.

Top 10 schools coming next week, respect his decision
