"It's crazy it's all just happened really fast," Oden said. "At first you think you're not special and then all of a sudden you're special and I wonder why it happened to me. It's just crazy but I'm very thankful."

"It's means a lot especially because it's my home state," he said "It's an honor just to receive something like that from a program as big as Tennessee and it makes me feel special that they see my talent."

"I think it was a good season for them and a season that they needed so they could find out who they are," Oden said. "I think it was nice to see Joshua Dobbs at quarterback because he kind of reminds me of myself. I like the way he plays and I could see myself fitting in there."

Oden, who is also receiving interest from Kentucky, Ole Miss, Notre Dame and UCLA, said that even though Tennessee has a quarterback committed in the 2016 class in Rivals100 prospect Austin Kendall, he's not afraid of a little competition. "I think it would be a challenge but I'm all about challenges," Oden said. "I think it would just be something that would make us both better to grow and compete against one another."

Whats up with Spring Hill, I'm not familiar with them. Do they play in a tough division? Have any notable players come from there?

I did say he's very thin as your pics illustrate. But he's just 16. He doesn't have a "wide frame" to pack on a ton of lbs but then neither did Peyton. Ty is very quick and athletic on a bball court.....I haven't seen him play football. He would definitely need a redshirt but the athletic skills that you can't teach are definitely there. Curious to know if anybody has seen him play qb and could give us an assessment of his throwing mechanics.

He probably just got done with a major growth spurt, he'll put on weight as he matures.

Spring Hill is either 3a or 4a. They have been mediocre to bad in recent years, but I know they have an ex college coach who apparently is turning it around over there. They are a really good baseball school. I don't know of anybody from Spring Hill but Shaq Mason the starting OG at GT who is probably NFL bound is from the same county.

Not a bad schedule, they play CPA, Giles County, Marshall County, Pearl Cohn, and Lexington this year.

Pearl Cohn has a couple of SEC level kids, CPA is a powerhouse in 3A, Lexington has a kid we like for next year, Marshall County was strong this year, and Giles has a lot of athletes normally.

Also, volunteerlane can probably tell you more about how good the competition he faces is.

The competition is not as good in southern middle TN as it is around Franklin and Murfreesboro. They are 4A and most of the surrounding area teams are 5A and 6A. I graduated from Spring Hill in 2006 and they have been very average back to the early 90's when Saturn moved in and bumped them up in classification. Before that Spring Hill was a good single A school. Spring Hill does have a great new coach who previously was at Mt. Juliet and Columbia but they do not have a lot of talent to surround him with. I know several kids that went to Columbia instead when Columbia was winning but that could change in the near future.

I couldn't remember the year bc I wasn't alive so I did a little research. They won single A in 1986 over South Pitt. Orlando "Papa" Wade was Mr. Football in 85 and 86 and went on the Mississippi State.
