'17 VA DE Ryan Thaxton (UT signee)

[drvenner]

Boom!!!

 

[BigorangeBoy]

I agree that if you are going to take someone this late, let it be someone that has some length and size that could project to more than one spot. We actually offered him several months ago, so this is not a late offer like Ohio State is doing with the Palmer kid that just de committed from Syracuse

 

[bignewt]

Ryan looks disciplined with a good first step and physical. Great frame to build on. This is a type of project DE I really like. Has a frame that he could add much more muscle and be a big DE that could go inside on situational pass rushing.

Welcome to Rocky Top, Ryan!

Agreed he looks to set the edge first then crashes in. Disciplined in a word. We need more of that on D.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Boom

Welcome aboard young man. Hope he develops into a playmaker.

 

[Biopsyman]

Big frame... might move inside

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Big frame... might move inside

That's my bet. Doesn't seem fast enough to remain outside in the SEC

 

[Biopsyman]

We now have more commitments then spot someone else will have to decommit can only take 25 this cycle.. no back counting allowed this cycle at all

"I've long thought this kid was an SEC level player and i think he was one of the best available uncommitted DEs. He could kick inside situationally or develop long term into an inside player. He's got a good frame, good length, plays hard and with a motor. I don't think he's some freak athlete but he's a guy that makes plays. I like the pickup"

We are taking more than 25.

We are taking more than 25.

Calla hand said last week we could sign 30 perhaps. Don't know how

Expecting at least 2 or 3 people to transfer is my guess

Yeah I'll let the staff figure out the numbers. It'll be more than 25 though.

has zero impact on the size of the class.

Yes, Hyams said we couldn't back count any. We can take a maximum of 25 for the '17 class. Any additional will have to be blue shirts or gray shirts.

 

[bignewt]

We will sign more than that Hyams can suck it.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Boom!

We can backcount one for sure. Any more than 26, I think we'll have a blueshirt or 2. I expect the kicker to blueshirt.

According to Jimmy that scholarship that was available to back count went to the DL that came in over the summer. Can't recall his name.

We had 3 open and 2 came in over the summer, leaving 1.

 

[Catbone]

If we get this guy that means we struck out on 8+ players

If Thaxton is moving to DT, did we miss on Conliffe? Or is this guy staying at DE and Conliffe is still in play?
