'17 NC LB Justin Foster

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Just get him to sign the dotted line and in a practice uniform then all those things will take care of themselves

Eh, depends on the kid. If he's upfront he wants to play LB in college and not DE, IMO you respect it. Don't just tell him what he wants to hear to sign him, then he transfers in a year.

Our staff is upfront. If they say you'll get a chance at a position, you'll get it. They'll also tell you where you have the best chance to play early/often.

In be4 Butch is a liar and a dirty recruiter

 

[OrangeMound]

6'4" 240 lbs!!!! That's massive enough already to be in a Stoops' D as an OLB, right? Maybe he'd make a mean DE.

Anyone know what we are recruiting him as?

......Or RB

......Or RB

TE imo

Linebacker that comes off the edge

He says he's being recruited as a MLB here

 

[TheHound]

He can fool some posters on Volnation but there's also posters on here who are smart enough to know that he's just a troll including myself.

You are not a very good troll if you are telling everyone you are a troll..

He says he's being recruited as a MLB here

When did he say this? That is the first I've ever heard of MLB with him. Every quote I've seen from him in the past and from the mods on all the sites have said he's being recruited as an OLB by the staff.

Linebacker that comes off the edge

That's what I've always heard. A pass rushing OLB basically. And looking at his film I think that is by far the position in college he projects best at. He just needs to lose a little weight and stay in that 240 range. I don't think he'd be as effective with his hand down as an every down DE.

Interesting for sure. Especially in light of Paul's and Brent's comments yesterday. They certainly made it sound like they are expecting Clemson. Plus no mention of him in the War Room either.

 

[MrVolton]

Pretty sure he said UT's coaches are selling him on being MLB on rushing downs and pass rush off the edge on 3rd down. Foster seems to like that idea too, at least from what I've read.

Another crystal ball to the Vols from a SC insider

Thanks. That is a little different than his older quotes. As long as they utilize his rush skills off the edge on 3rd down, I think he can be a difference maker.

looking like this summer may be heating up!

It sounds like they want him to be an OLB when it's the most fun.

How reliable is Whittle, the SC insider?

How reliable is Whittle, the SC insider?

Don't know, but the Clemson Insider, Corey Fravel, has a solid accuracy rate, 74.26%, and he CBed to UT yesterday.

 

[CABVOL]

After the TH fiasco, I just will not allow myself to believe he's leaning UT. I see it as the Clemson CB is just to get our hopes up, only to have the rug yanked out again. lol

[Big Gucci Sosa]

I feel like he's a lock. Nobody else is giving him a chance at LB

 

[Orange And Garnet]

I like our chances

Linebacker Justin Foster (Shelby, N.C./Crest) said he’s trimmed he’s trimmed his list of 30 offers down to seven.

The finalists including Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Stanford and Tennessee.

Foster said Tennessee still leads going into the summer.

The Crystal Ball reads 53-percent for Clemson and 47-percent for Tennessee.

Foster said he plans to visit all of his finalists this summer before making his college choice early this fall around the second game of his senior season.

He said he plans to enroll early unless he picks Stanford, who doesn't allow early enrollment.

“I’m looking for a school where I can major in Mechanical Engineering and play in a 3-4 defense so I can stay at outside linebacker,” Foster said.

The No. 1 recruit in North Carolina in the 2017 class by 247Sports.com Composite Rankings broke down what he likes in his finalists.

Alabama: “It’s just Alabama. It’s a winning program. They win every year. It’s a grind there.”

Clemson: “My sister went there. My whole family loves Clemson. I could play defensive end like Vic Beasley or maybe take a different route and play middle linebacker.”

Georgia: “I like that they play a 3-4 defense. They have two outside linebackers on the field at all times. Plus they have Mechanical Engineering and it’s not too far from home.”

Kentucky: “They use their outside linebackers. I like how they used Bud Dupree. He’s a guy I watch a lot. I have a good relationship with their coaches. They have a good atmosphere and I like the way they would use me in their defense.”

Notre Dame: “I haven’t been there yet but I’m looking forward to visiting there. I like how they use their outside linebackers off the edge and standing up. Plus they have good academics.”

Stanford: “They have great academics. I love how they use big outside linebackers to cover ground. They have the best education.”

Tennessee: “They would use me as a middle linebacker and on third downs I would come off the edge. They have 100,000 fans at each game. The atmosphere and fans are great.”

Foster said one school would climb into his lead group given a certain dynamic.

"If my former teammate Tre Harbison goes to Wisconsin or maybe even N.C. State I would consider them more and take a good look at them before I make my final decision,” Foster said.

Foster said he takes the ACT June 11.

The four-star recruit is ranked as the nation’s No. 4 outside linebacker in the 2017 class by 247Sports.com Composite Rankings.

Foster will play in the 2017 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
