I know the joke is wore out, but seriously, Kessling is shaking his head.

 

[Coach Punk]

I wondered why this guy was blowing up. True nose with a big frame. Just needs to fill out.

Another Houston Area target... Lots of talent there

Especially in Katy. Their defense is top flight.

Thanks for posting this. I was pleasantly surprised by the talent this young man has. He’s strong, quick, agile and makes tackles with authority. Notice his bull rush against guys his own size....he’s dominant. Hope we get this young man, he’s really good.

You realize that a NT is purely a space eater right?
The 3-4 is designed for the LBs to make the plays

With his height he could be a DE

Yep. Either way, he’ll be on the interior.

Picked up offers from Oklahoma State and Nebraska since we offered.

Tennessee also offered defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia from Katy, Texas, last week. The staff likes him and its pursuit of him might heat up after the McKenzie announcement.

Ogbonnia isn’t nearly as highly sought-after as Miller. He’d be more of a project, but he does have offers from Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Nebraska and Texas Tech, so there are Power 5 schools after him.

What is appealing about Ogbonnia is his familiarity with the 3-4 defense. He played in that scheme in high school, and with his 6-4, 290-pound size he could theoretically fit in early if he shows he’s strong enough.

Tennessee has laid the groundwork for these two prospects at defensive tackle. There is more interest in Miller, but he’s more of a longshot.

Look for Tennessee to extend a few more offers in the coming days. It might look into the junior college ranks to fill this need quickly.

We need a real HOSS at NT

 

[Kingston Vol]

This guy is a boss.

 

[Biopsyman]

We keep forgetting about Kingston,.. Already signed up

 

[philly1972]

Has anyone watched his highlights? I know he is a big dude but he looks slow as heck. He wasn't very dominate at all, but I will let JP make his final decision.

Especially in Katy. Their defense is top flight.

He actually played for Katy Taylor High School, they are in same conference/district as the power house Katy High School.
