So, we're in GREAT HANDS with Ambles. He made big 3rd down conversions going across the middle as well as the 40 yard bomb. No doubt he is shifty once he makes the grab. Lined up as PR on occasion and took some shots but bounced up so he has toughness to boot.
Calvin Smith is a big ugly that we will need for sure. He got after it all game. No big plays but plugged the middle with ease. After the game, i said, " See him at Vol Walk and don't let Lemonier resort to 'Bama or Auburn" and he replied, "Oh yea, can't wait for the walk and still working on Corey!"
Corey Lemonier, without a doubt, was the BEST athlete and DE on the field. He reminded of me of ol' Leonard Little. Remember how Little's motor never stopped? Corey was all over the place. He was constantly in the backfield whether it was from the backside or straight bull rush. The kid is the real deal. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled when i asked him if he was going to let Monte show him the Tampa 2.
Ahmad Dixon is the only one i wasn't impressed with. Not so much his appearance, but his mouth and after-the-play-antics. Nothing that our staff won't fix on DAY 1!
These kids all smiled and nodded when they seen Vol Nation show up and support. Seeing how there was 20 people in the stands on the mainland side, they appreciated the recognition too.
