I'm hopeful Byrd won't be a part of this group.Tennessee got a HUGE steal with this kid. He's way more talented than amari Rodgers IMO, and closer to tee Higgins than some realize. He really reminds me of amari cooper with how smooth he is as a route runner already. Byrd, Callaway, Johnson, Williams, Murphy, Jones, and Fant are going to be a good freshman sophomore class.
On a scale of 1-10, how worried is UT about Murphy qualifying? Seems like they're going after a lot of WRs still. Are the two related?
Hard to quantify it, but maybe somewhere close to a 5. Tennessee still seems to be relatively optimistic, based on what I've heard, that he'll be OK. We'll see. I don't think the Vols' pursuit of other receivers is directly related to that, though. Princeton Fant also has some work to do in the classroom, for what it's worth. But I think it's more about the fact that Tennessee doesn't have as many receivers as it would like, especially after Josh Malone's departure, and the Vols could be even thinner there if they decide to move Tyler Byrd to cornerback.
