Devon Dillehay on Hudl

Rated a 3-star player by Rivals last year @ 5.5, dropped to 2-star status now (5.4) but this kid put up some incredible numbers over the past 2 seasons. In just 20 games @ Northeast, Dillehay racked up 239 tackles (164 solo), 73 TFL, and 19 sacks. Also averaged 9.4 yards per carry on offense and 40.5 yards per punt. Turned down offers from Navy, Air Force & Ball State among others to be a Vol.

Feb '18: Northeast High linebacker Devon Dillehay had a breakout year after making the transition from Class A football (at Clarksville Academy) to 3A football (at Northeast). The junior was named The Leaf-Chronicle All Area Football Defensive Player of the Year and now has picked up a three-star rating by Rivals.com. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker had 144 tackles, 96 solo with 44 of those for a loss. He also finished with eight sacks and two forced fumbles while helping Northeast return to the 5A playoffs.

Had some committable offers at other places. Heart is at UT. Good PWO get.

Gotta respect the guys who walk on. May never get to play, but then again wasn't Baker Mayfield a walk-on? Worked out well for him. Welcome Devon and good luck.

At least he’s bigger than 5 foot nothing and heavier than 100 and nothing.

Guy had offers to play in the MAC and AAC. That’s about as good of a walk-on as you can hope for, great pick-up.

 

[greenbacknative]

Welcome young man. Anyone that comes here and says up front he wants to hit someone is welcome. After all the hugging, and frisking I've seen the last couple years while trying to tackle a runner, this will be a pleasant change. I hope he can make a difference.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Boomworthy IMO.

This kid could actually earn a scholarship one day.

Im glad he's coming, but I don't know how you walk away from a scholarship

 

[SaguaroVols]

When have we had walk on's start here?

I recall Nick Reviez at LB and the Sullins twins on the OL. Anyone else?

 

[Sleegro]

I hate to say it cause he played for bama but Forrest gump was the greatest true story football movie ever made.

Maybe this guy will be our hunter renfrow and play for 42 years.

Those are respectable scholarship offers so I think it's a great PWO pickup. Wasn't Jumper a PWO? I mean the kid was a liability in the passing game but he was one of the more consistent defensive players we had during that rough period.

 

[Pacer92]

These are the kind of kids who will push our scholarship players to be the best they can be...

Good pickup..
