'17 TN RB Ty Chandler (UT signee)

[volatil]

You and I are always ready to cap a fool for pulling that.

I'm strapped, son, and I keep the safety off

I ain't no cobra 🐍.

If you like Kelly now (who doesn't?!), you will love Chandler after a year in the system with Gillespie and the S&C. He has the extra gear in the open field - Chuck Webb like.

I was thinking it was pretty incredible that Ty went from 175-180lbs to 195lbs now. If you look at his arms and just overall build, he can definitely stand to put on another 15-20lbs easy. John Kelly came in at 202 and is now up 10lbs. Alvin Kamara came in at 200-205lbs and is now at 215lbs. It will be a lot easier for Ty to get to where he needs to be weight wise given that hes 1.5-2.5 inches taller than both of them. One thing the S&C definitely does at UT is bulk up our running backs.

I love watching Kelly run. He has so much heart and fight, you can't help but love the guy. I say he will be one of the captains because of his leadership through hard work everyday. You got to love a guy like Kelly. We need a lot more with his attitude on the team.

Im thinking Jennings, Kelly, TKjr, and J Robertson as captains next year

Doubt it. And they announced this season's during the O&W game...think Butch will name the starter that soon?

Oh ok, he yours?

 

[bUTchplease2]

Sheriron for captain!

 

[Vols_14]

DKjr., TKjr., JJ, and Kelly or Jashon Robertson. Gives 2 offensive 2 defensive captains.

Doug Mathews was on 104.5 and opined that naming permanent captains was a bad idea. It limits leadership from those not named captain. He said this was the first time CBJ had ever named permanent captains and should be the last. That allows all seniors and other leaders a chance to contribute.

I can see it both ways. Perhaps naming two permanent captains and rotating the other two throughout the season would be the best of both worlds. Just throwing that out.

Oh I see your into wide receivers as opposed to tight ends. Cat got his claws into Malone.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Ty is one of only 16 guys who are up for the player of the year award. And he isn't a 5 star...

21 Carries for 88 yards and 1 TD. MBA beat Ensworth 21-17. MBA is headed to their third straight Division II-AA state championship game.

Those aren't Chandler like numbers. What happened?

That would be an awesome way to end your High School career and get started being a VOL!

Good team stacked the box every play to slow him down is my guess

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

I predict Ty gets the 5* bump after the Army game ala Phillips.
