the 6-foot, 175-pound labruzza said he found out about the offer from tennessee during a phone conversation with vols running backs coach robert gillespie.
Labruzza never has been to tennessees campus, but he said hes now hoping to visit the vols in the coming months.
(gillespie) talked to me about coming up there, said labruzza, who also claims offers from tulane, louisiana-lafayette and southeastern louisiana. i want to say he said in the spring, maybe, he talked about getting me up there.
im pretty positive like, 99-percent sure that i will be able to make the trip up there.
labruzza said he had talked with gillespie within the past few months, but he had no idea it was this serious before getting the offer from tennessee.
we talked on twitter (during the season), labruzza said. he asked for my film, so i sent him a few highlights from a few games.
we had a good conversation. He told me they were offering me and everything. He told me to keep working hard because, coming to tennessee, its a high standard. So he told me to just keep working hard, and if i keep working hard, ill be able to make it.
to be honest with you, i dont know too much about them. It was kind of a shock, a surprise to me that they offered me. I watched them play a few times this year, actually. But i dont know too much about them.
