Met a Real Nice Guy Whose Gonna Be A Vol Next Year

[orangetaz]

At my local krogers in Mt Juliet tonight my checkout cashier we got to talking football and he played for MTSU last season. He hit the latest portal and will be a Vol next season. He said he will be a starter and he plays slot and receiver. He is a freshman

 

[YankeeVol]

Yea, I don't really see anyone on their roster that would be a "want."

Perhaps he's going to walk-on.

Hmm, I can't find an MTSU freshman WR who has declared for the portal. Looking at their 2025 roster, I don't see anyone who jumps out at me.

I know what color the penalty flag is, and I know what color the challenge flag is. I'm assuming the flag I'm throwing here is brown...

Cool story and all, but have ya seen our WR group next year? He ain't seeing the field.

Maybe Landon Collins - Football - Middle Tennessee State University Athletics @orangetaz you tell us man

Looks like he walked on, earned a scholarship & started 3 games late in season. Not bad

There are plenty of TN guys who fly under the radar, some walk on and earn their spot relatively quickly--Devaun Swafford is a dude who comes to mind. Two way player in HS, didn't get much spotlight but was clearly a D1 guy.

I miss the old days when players wanted to be here for the school. Before $$ took over

Nahzae Cox is a Freshman WR from MTSU who is in the portal. He isn't starting at UT and is certainly not beating out Staley at slot.

MTSU's NIL must be terrible if the players have to supplement by working at Kroger.

I don’t think kids are going to MTSU for NIL bud

Is this the Kroger in providence or the one on North Mt. Juliet Rd?

I bet it’s Clifford Franklin. Probably have him there for security as his main gig.

DeSean Bishop seems to be a player who wants to be a Vol, walked on and became the starting running back. Hope they have given him a good NIL deal.

The ball’s like a one-man cold to Clifford Franklin. Clifford Franklin’s the only one catching it, Clifford Franklin’s the only one coming down with it.

He is a take if we can pick up Shane Falco in the portal. Falco may be cheap after that dreadful Sugar Bowl game.....

Coxis a junior, not a freshman.

24/7 has him listed as a Freshman. They say he enrolled in June of 2025.
