17 VA DT Breyon Gaddy (UT commit 7/19/16)

Great to have Breyon on board. I have seen some people say that he may have trouble qualifying. I hope he is not that far away but I haven't seen any details. Love that we beat out Clemson for him!
 
What the hello happened that he fell so far? Especially considering how valuable true DTs are? Grade concerns maybe, it did he just have a terrible camp some where?

Would be nice to know more about his grade concerns. It is great getting a 4 star but if he can't get in school then I am not sure this is going to help us down the road. It does at least give us some good publicity for the mean time.
 
I watched his tape last night. I like him. He's not Kahlil or Shy yet but he's good. Idk what to think of his brother. All the highlights I saw are him playing QB lol. I think both have great potential

Both need time to develop. Good addition for depth but I'd say both will be getting that RS. I do like Brandon's athleticism. Makes him a good candidate at OT or DT.

"Just wanted to swing by and say I like the pickup of the Gaddy brothers. Breyon is a massive kid who can move well and will keep the recent DT tradition going at Tennessee and Brandon is one of those kids you could see having the better career, we just don't know where he will project or what he will play. He's further from his ceiling than Breyon and more athletic but not as specialized. I could see him as a rush end but if that doesn't work out he could be an offensive guard. I think Breyon will have to step up his game a bit to challenge in the SEC and fight for playing time as the Vols recruit like crazy at DT while Brandon will find a home no matter what, just don't know where and that's our biggest ranking issue with him right now."

Would love to see Breyon produce like Dan Williams. Brandon kind of sounds like Jashon Robertson.

"Recent DT tradition" is kind of offensive. We've got to be one of the most productive programs of all time when it comes to producing quality DTs at the next level.

So what's he's saying is that the 3* is likely to be the better of the two. I don't understand how that is possible. I don't believe him.
 
Was just checking some of the rankings on different sites.... Breyon is a 79 rated 3* on ESPN and the #36 DT.... Weird
