Kids going to be successful in something whether.m it's football or something else in life. Kid is determined. He took a chance in himself to go juco instead of taking the scholarships he had because he knew he deserved more. He got it. I won't count him out to reach this next dream

I get the feeling this guy is going to be a big success for us. Seems the kind that feels he’s always the underdog and approaches everything in life with the chip on his shoulder.

Have a feeling many of us will pull for his success more than anybody in recent memory.

Kongbo needs to realize any future he has is DL. Only time I want him standing up is pass rush maybe. Would be awful at LB

I agree. I think he'd be an excellent 3-4 DE. But I'm sure they're gonna give him a chance at that joker spot

This kids composite score doesn’t make sense...he’s a 3* @ .8816 but he’s a solid 4* on two sites and he’s an 89 on their own site...should be recognized as a composite 4* but I don’t think they ever updated him after Rivals bumped him to a 4*....dude deserves the recognition

Yup. 247 never updated after Rivals bumped him to a 4star. He should be a 4 star on the composite.

Damn.
That touched me to read that.

So many struggle out here in this world. His mom is a fighter and so is he.

I'll be rooting for this kid big time! Obviously you want all the players to do well but football means a lot more to this kid in his life right now.

Looks like Tim Williams who was a DE out of Louisiana who played LB for Bama.

Kongbo is 270 lbs and wasn't aggressive or fast enough to play DE. How will he be a LB? Who says he will be a LB?

Kongbo will be in for a rude awakening with this new staff if he comes in trying to play LB. If he were smart he would bulk up and learn how to play 5 Tech.

Man I'm really rooting for this kid to succeed, and not for my usual selfish reasons of just wanting the Vols to win...even though that would be great too. 😁

My favorite player of this class regardless of who else we sign. He is a strong minded kid with aspirations to provide for his family. Whether it be on the field or in the classroom he WILL exceed. I have a feeling he will do it both ways very successfully 👍

Hopefully he can be our version of Ryan Anderson
