Hope we can get this guy on campus. I like his tape a lot. Shows solid technique and has a very good arm. Stats aren’t great so it’s kind of a Shrout situation. Confident Helton can get him to reach his potential

FWIW, Poster on TOS who claims to know the family says his dad doesn't want him at Tennessee. Stanford or another academic school if they don't offer is where he wants him. Jesse's comments kind of seem to back that up.

Can't really argue with that line of thought if he wants him at a academic institution like Stanford etc

Winston shouldnt have been a first round pick let alone (i believe) #1 overall.

I agree with #1 overall but certainly he's a first round pick. As a Bucs fan, I wanted Mariota though. But also, as a Bucs fan, I am very used to being disappointed with decisions from management. Pretty much going back to firing Dungy and trading for Gruden. Yeah he won a championship for us but we were probably on pace to do that anyway. How they treated Derrick Brooks on the way out was awful. And I'm not a fan of the current coach. This draft and offseason free agency was the first in a long time that I haven't really had any reservations about. Maybe we'll at least sniff the playoffs this year. :eek:lol:

three-star class of 2019 quarterback zach calzada of lanier high school in buford, ga., told 247sports' kipp adams that he's scheduled to visit tennessee on monday. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound calzada has been drawing interest from the vols over the past several weeks.

He now holds scholarship offers from more than 40 schools after adding an offer from georgia on tuesday. N.c. State, northwestern and ucla are among the other major-conference programs pursuing him. He also was scheduled to visit north carolina on wednesday, and he's planning to travel to texas a&m on friday before going to tennessee next week.

Calzada said after earning his offer from georgia during his visit tuesday for the bulldogs' 7-on-7 team camp that he's planning to give georgia strong consideration as he moves closer to a decision.

"georgia is definitely a school i am going to consider these next two weeks, as i try to narrow things down and see what happens from there," calzada told adams. "they are definitely in the discussion for me. And in the discussion is good for me because that means at this point there are only a few schools in the discussion, so in the discussion means my private top list of schools.

"it is a very good academic school and the success in football is obvious, the tradition they have and going to the national championship last season and winning the sec. They have a great quarterback tradition, as well, so i think it would be a good fit."

Last week in the War Room, we mentioned Peach State quarterback Zach Calzada as a name to watch at the position and the 3-star Lanier (Ga.) standout is slated to workout for the staff early next week. Calzada had a nice showing at the Elite 11 camp and then earned an offer from UGA after he worked out for the Bulldogs’ staff. NC State, Duke, Northwestern and Stanford are other schools currently in on Calzada.

Sugar Hill, Ga. (Lanier High School) quarterback Zach Calzada had high hopes of a Tennessee offer when he woke up Monday morning to throw on Rocky Top. “That was kind of the plan all along to just get up there and throw,” the 6-3, 190 pound Calzada said. “I probably threw 30 minutes or so with coach Helton. Coach Pruitt watched the workout and he offered. They both said they liked my arm talent. I think I showed them good arm strength and velocity, but also a good touch and accuracy.”

Monday was actually Calzada's third trip to see the Vols since February. “For me, Tennessee was the Power 5 school to start showing interest back when I had 5-6 FCS offers. I went to their junior day back in early February. Coach Helton told me he liked my film then. I went and visited for a scrimmage in the spring. When things started picking up, coach Helton came and saw my spring game and he told me he wanted me to come up and throw I did today. So I have been in touch with them for a while.”

With the whirlwind of the last few months, Calzada isn't interested in slowing down and catching his breath. He's instead working quickly towards a decision. “I was talking to my coaches and for me, it all came at me really fast,” Calzada admitted. “But at the same time, I think it's time to bring the process to an end just as fast. Hopefully in the two weeks, it's going to be time to call up coach so and so and tell them I'm coming to spend the next four years with them.”

Why the hurry? Simply put, Calzada wants to be in control of his decision. “With quarterback's there's a domino effect. There are 3-4 quarterbacks in this situation looking at the same schools I'm looking at. So I want to be in control of the decision and not have things dictated by decisions other guys make. “I would say I privately it's getting narrowed down. At this point, the schools that I'm interested in, the coaches at those schools know.”

“Obviously, football is very important for me so coaching, quarterback development, depth chart and is it a school I can have success at on the field is important. But also is it a school I would be ok with outside of football for four years. Would I be able to bond with people on campus outside of coaches and teammates that's also important.”

Wants to make a decision in a couple weeks or so? We were 1st P5 school to show interest and now offered today? Sounds like a certain offer may have been the one he was waiting on.

Love the participation of more than one commit! Cade Mays was enthusiastic before the mess but didn’t seem to have company. These kids want as much talent playing with them as possible...and ain’t bashful.
