'18 FL DT Kingston Harris (UT signee)

Not blown away by this commit but early enroll, IMG, and a big body are all positives. He doesn’t need to be great just eat up blockers and let the LBers shine in this defense. DT depth is as bad as OL depth so the more the merrier.

Not the most explosive player on tape, but he doesn't quit on plays. Maybe the new S&C coach can put some pop in his step? Coaches obviously see something.
 
I think there is an article on 247 saying he has been delayed in enrolling. Someone fill us in!! I know he's not the flashiest recruit but we need big men more than ever with MckJR leaving early.
 
Pruitt said today that Tennessee had 14 signees and 7 early enrollees ... noting that one other prospect (who he didn't name but we know is Dominick Wood-Anderson) still has a little bit of paperwork to do.

What's notable is that the Vols were set to have 9 early enrollees ... and not 8. DT Kingston Harris is not currently in the university system. He has not responded to text messages or calls at this time, but it appears the IMG Academy signee will not enroll until the summer.

He can come in the summer. They don't get the scholarship back. He will be here.

He originally wasn't planning on being a mid-term guy then in December after he committed said he was going to be. But he likely couldn't get everything done. We are trying to check in with him. He hasn't returned our message yet.

Already 6’4” and 298 according to CJP

I might be wrong about him redshirting

I expect Pruitt's defence in 2018 to play balls to the walls, rotating available players on front seven to give continually maximum effort on every down. Will we have the players to do that? I think yes. I also believe we have young DBs who will be able to go toe to toe in the SEC. Do I expect to win more games next year? Yes, I do, if the defence plays full tilt boogie. Offence might take some licks getting their game on. So defence needs to be unexpectedly good. I'm talking balls to the walls.
 
I still expect him to redshirt. We're going to have Shy, Gooden, Crosby, and Alexis Johnson to rotate at the nose tackle.

Shy is an inside kinda guy but he might play some outside. Gooden looks like a day one starter at end. Crosby is huge, but not in the right way. And Johnson just isn’t good.
