Butch needs to go ahead and offer 2015 Jackson Harris from Columbia Central...6'5", 250 pound heat seeking missile middle linebacker with 4.6 40 time. Saban and Franklin already have him as # 1 on their speed dial.
I liked it, said Angel, who holds early offers from Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Id kind of already seen everything and toured it, but I kind of watched practice and got a feel of how coach (Butch) Jones does things and how he runs practice and all that and how uptempo everything is.
Theres no walking around on the field or anything. Everybodys always moving. He keeps you engaged in practice, so youre not just standing around. Youre always doing something.
I really liked my visit that time I went up before, to the Kentucky (basketball) game and the junior day, he said. I just wanted to get back up and see how Coach Jones, how he ran his practices and all that, and see how he was on the field with everything and check out the offense and all that.
I liked the way they coached and handled the guys. They get onto you, but then again, they laughed and had fun. I mean, it wasnt all uptight and everything. They did a good job.
I like the way that Coach Jones runs his practices.
Coach Gillespie, that was the first time I met him up there, Angel said. I really liked Coach Gillespie and how he was working out the running backs and all that. I just like the way he was coaching and all that. I got to talk to him a little bit. Hes a really cool guy. I like him a lot.
They were just telling me that theyre trying to change things at Tennessee and get it back to being the historic football (program) winningest in the country or whatever, Angel said. Actually, the day I was up for practice, thats the day (five-star running back) Jalen Hurd committed, so Coach Jones was pretty excited about that. He was telling me about all that.
He was telling me hes trying to get things going up there and hopefully turning it around and getting it headed in the right direction.

Also mentioned his last visit to Vandy, and he got to tour Vandy and their complex. Said Franklin was selling him on academics and that they're a program on the rise.
He said his next visit is going to be to Miss. St. They were his first offer almost a year ago, and he hasn't been back to visit in a while.
