I think Schoenwald is going to make a pretty good TE even though he's only lined up at TE a few snaps. He's moving there next season to get himself ready for playing that position in college.

He's plenty athletic enough & has a pretty good size wingspan. Should be able to go get the ball over LB's & DB's all day at close to 6'6" tall & athletic.

That article was old Tony. Gavin played TE full time at Brentwood Academy this year

I didn't realize that. I thought he was still at QB. How did he do at TE?

Did fairly well being a new guy at the position. His size is perfect and he has verrryy good hands from what I saw. Also seemed like he was progressing as a blocker as the season went on.

That's great. Do you get to many of their games?

“I’ve been a little surprised that it’s all happened so early. Tennessee was my earliest offer and I think that kind of got things rolling a little bit. Vandy hopped on and now South Carolina and Ole Miss have offered,” Schoenwald said. “I’m just trying to take things as they come. Growing up I always heard people talk about how stressful recruiting is, and I was like, ‘how can that be?’ But now I can see how it could be a really stressful. For me though, it’s really fun right now and I’m trying to enjoy it as much as I can.” Schoenwald has played all over the offensive side of the ball for his Brentwood Academy squad, including quarterback, but he’s projected as tight end at the next level.

“For me it’s mostly about my position and learning how programs use the tight end. With Tennessee that’s kind of up in the air now with Coach Debo leaving. I’ll be interested to see who they hire, whether they stay in staff, I’ve heard that Coach (Larry) Scott is a name. That will be a big factor for me at any school,” Schoenwald said.

“I watch football games differently now that I’m playing tight end. I used to just watch the quarterback but now I pay a lot of attention to what’s going on away from the ball. “The game has really evolved as far as that position goes. You’re not a sixth lineman all the time. Tight ends get split out, go in motion as an H-back or something. I think my versatility kind of matches the way that position is being used by a lot of people these days.”

“I think it definitely helps make Tennessee more attractive when you see the success kids from Nashville and Murfreesboro have had there. It’s a little more appealing seeing how guys have gone there and been able to develop,” Schoenwald shared. “Like, Derek was great high school player for sure, but he wasn’t Reggie White when he was a senior. So seeing how the player development there is very appealing especially when you’re talking about someone that went to my same high school.”

“To be honest right now every place that I visit I come away liking a lot. I couldn’t really name a favorite right now,” he said when asked about leaders.

Here's another one we can't let get away. Probably going to make an excellent TE down the road.

There seems to be a larger number of "good" football players in the 2018 class from Tennessee. I know Tennessee needs to sign those who will help out team the most . I do not think that we need to sign Tennessee players just because they played football in Tennessee. We seem to be doing very well with the guys we want, but it is still very early. The way they play the Fall may be the determining factor as to which players Tennessee really wants and signs.

I didn't say a thing about us grabbing every in-state recruit. However, guys like this one is one we can't let get away. We have a strong 2018 in-state class & we must try to get as many as those top notch recruits as possible. Thanks!

And if he is one of the several in-State players our coaches want to sign, I hope we get all of them. Just because you are from Church Hill, you don't need to get your tummy upset.

I hope we don't let this kid go to Vandy, maybe the staff likes Warren and one of the other TEs better like Mitchell.

They left it all in his quoted words guys. I said they did that & just didn't edit it. If it's his words makes you'll sound like you're making fun on Schoenwald & his Tennessee English. :)

So you think GS actually said "...I nearly fell to my news" as opposed to that being an error on the writer's part?
