Fortenberry mentioned Foster in the 2-min drill after yesterday's practice saying he will be visiting this weekend.

I really want us to get this guy. He's in my top 5 of targets this class. His tape is phenomenal. He could be another DKjr as a freshmen. We need someone like this to replace JRM in 2017.

Be suprised if he doesn't go to Clemson. We seemed to have lost momentum since Elder left. He doesn't talk about us the same as he used to

If he liked Elder, he'll love Scott. It won't be the change in TE's coach that loses him.

True but when your going head to head with Clemson continuity can be what give another an edge. We lost contact with him for a month or so after elder left

If we have the season we hope for, things even out...even if they have a great one also.

This would be a really awesome time to find out that Clemson can only take 20-22 this year. Pretty sure they lost a couple of juniors so I doubt it. But it would be awesome.

2 and a half week old quotes from Foster's visit to campus, but worth checking out.

Per Austin Price

"I've been here and done and went through and seen everything on the campus," Foster said. "Today I went to the engineering building because a big thing in committing to a school is being able to major in engineering so they set up a tour for me."

Tennessee has more than a few players that have walked through the doors of the engineering school over the years. Obviously, quarterback Josh Dobbs stands out in that area with the current team and it gives Foster a good feel for the potential balance of education and football.

"If he's the starting quarterback and he can do aerospace engineering and they make time for you to balance it," Foster said. "Time management is big, but if the quarterback can do it then I can do it."

This trip to Tennessee also was a chance to familiarize himself with new defensive coordinator Bob Shoop and how the new defensive boss sees Foster fitting into the scheme in Knoxville.

"I had spoken to him a few times when he was at Penn State, but then he went off the grid for a little while," Foster said. "This is the first time in meeting him face to face and it went good. Just seeing where I'd fit into his defense. He said like a middle linebacker on first and second down and then rush the quarterback off the edge on third down."

Ranked as one of the top linebackers in the country and the top overall player in the Tar Heel state, it's easy to see why Foster has so many top programs after him. He really likes Tennessee, but does he feel like he is a top priority for Butch Jones and his staff?

"Oh yes," Foster said. "I'll be back to visit down before I start to narrow it down even more. It's a family environment and the coaches are laid back and cool. The day that coach Scott got here, he came over to North Carolina and talk with me and introduced himself. He wanted to get me up here and we have a good relationship. Coach Jones and I talk a lot. Everything is going good and it's a good environment. I just like the area."

As for a decision, Foster isn't sure when he'll commit or if he'll enroll early. But if the latter is to happen, then a decision will come sooner than later.

"At my school, I have to choose what school I'm going to before August 1st," Foster said. "If I can make that decision then I'll enroll early."

I have nothing but mad respect for someone who wants to go into engineering and also play a collegiate sport. I barely had enough time as it was. I may be partial to TTU engineering, but ORNL is a huge advantage for UT. That and having Dobbs as the model student athlete for the school and team will play well for years.

Same. I thought I wanted to be an Engineer until I took a few Intro Engineering classes. No thanks. That's reserved for the really smart people.:)

This kid is #2 on my big board after Tee Higgins. More impressive on film than Jacoby Stevens or DeAngelo Gibbs.

Hopefully we get him.
