I keep forgetting about Tyler Baron.

Dude is a monster too.

Lol, what’s funny is I played DB and I never heard that phrase. But it makes sense. We were taught to put a hand on the receivers thigh pad when we were running with them, because not only did it subtly slow them down but you knew which way they were going while you were looking for the ball

Thank ya. Was a request from TB. Think he was worried there for a second.

About DB?

 

[Dudleys87]

Give him #9 and let’s see who wore it better

Barnett or Brooks

About DB?

Yep.

I think Baron is already #9

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Yep.

Well, hopefully there’s nothing to worry about there

Hopefully that SI article about him reaffirming his commitment because he's friends with Baron and Peterson was true. I know it came out recently so maybe Brooks was flirting until Pruitt came in calling again.

Frame: Extremely long, wiry build with incredible wingspan. Lean muscle, narrow waist. Can pack on plenty of good mass in college to fill out frame.

Athleticism: Bouncy edge prospect with a basketball foundation. Long strider who can cover a lot of ground in short order. Enough balance to play on low plane, generating good power at the point of contact. Occasional pass catcher showcasing above-average long speed. At his best accelerating downhill or on a line. Fluid athlete in various roles.

Instincts: Good off of the line with plus anticipation. Balanced defender with good hand-eye coordination and fairly quick feet. Closes well and with finishes with combination of length and tackle radius. Possesses the awareness one would expect of a multi-sport standout, able to affect the flight of the football at the line of scrimmage more than most.

Polish: Great first step with a speed rush and counter move, but should add to technical tool box down the line. Solid edge presence versus the run with elite extension and some power. Comfortable rushing from stand up or hand in the dirt position. Can play in space relative to position but fairly raw overall.

Bottom Line: Brooks profiles like a classic edge prospect who can fit conventional and new-age schemes. He flashes great burst and bend off of the line that can translate to situational use early in his college career. As Brooks matures physically and technically, he has as high of a ceiling as any pass rushing prospect in the country.

Watching UT commit Dylan Brooks this morning. It’s mainly offense install in shells, so very little contact, and maybe a little defense at the end, but he’s up to 245-250 pounds and catching a few balls at TE right now.

Doubt it. Especially at 250. I think he’s too big for the secondary. JMO

Love the last statement about what he's most excited about. "The fans." He gets it.

Watching so he can make an excuse to make him a 3.

Vols Commit Dylan Brooks Ranked as Nation's No. 4 Edge Rusher

This kid will be a fan favorite in no time. He doesn't seem to be into the drama of recruiting and he's got all the tools to be an elite edge guy. Still my favorite recruit in the class
