he evaluated my film. He looked over to make sure everything was good. He was impressed with me, but he wanted to make sure i was good to be playing in the sec and big-time football, brooks said. he even jokingly asked me if the could mess around with me at practice so i could be ready for games. He has a lot of confidence in me and what i can do. Im just hoping i can perform for him and carry on the legacy of great punters at the university of tennessee.
