After racking up 65 tackles, 10 sacks & 20 TFL his junior year, Butler took his game to another level this year with 89 tackles, 25 sacks, 25 TFL & 32 QB hurries in 12 games. Garner HS doesn't count sacks as TFL so if the reported numbers are correct, 56% of Butler's tackles were for negative yardage.

I think so. Maybe not as good but can have that same kind of impact

Seems like I remember Barnett having some wild HS TFL numbers and people wondering why he wasn't a 5*. Same thing then as now..what he looked like.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Holy crap. 3 *? Don't think so

 

[AV_12]

25 sacks? 😳

We need AV and his buddies to unload a huge amount of tax write offs on this guy

There is a comment about Justin Foster that everyone was complaining that we didn't get and committed to Clemson. He wants to play LB but it was noted that we told him he was better suited be a DE. The article states he is not "fluid or quick enough for the position" and that he "showed natural pass rushing ability and was able to beat offensive tackles consistently". When will we learn to trust our coaches and the recruiting staff?

Butler being a 3* is a really bad joke.

On Justin Foster:

Clemson commit Justin Foster insists he is a linebacker at 6-foot-4, 250-pounds and that is where the Shelby (N.C.) Crest lined up most of the day. He simply is not fluid or quick enough for the position. However, Foster took limited reps as a defensive end where he showed natural pass rushing ability and was able to beat offensive tackles consistently.

Goes to show why UT stopped recruiting him much.

EDIT - got Swansoned by glichten.

I thought it was important to point that out too Lynx. Our staff can evaluate better than some would like to believe.

Jennings wanted to be a QB...glad we took him

We also gave him a shot at QB before he moved to WR. We flat out told Foster he was a DE. Slightly different.

I am also glad that we took Jennings. Dude is a monster.

 

[scvolfan7]

Another CB for the vols today

Another CB for the vols today

That's good to see...really need to get this kid...I'm worried about USCe they seem to have the momentum

 

[Catbone]

Good stuff. Corker and Butler we need more than Akers IMO.
