The 6-foot-5, 255-pound tight end was one of the headliners of Jermey Pruitt’s first recruiting class, as Wood-Anderson was a blue-chip prospect at a position of need.

Last season, the nation’s No. 1 JUCO tight end had 31 receptions for 258 yards and two touchdowns and is expected to compete for a starting spot immediately at Tennessee. For the last five months, Wood-Anderson has been training with Les Spellman, a renowned California trainer who has coached numerous Olympic athletes. Tennessee’s new tight end said Spellman has reshaped his body and improved his speed, getting him ready for the SEC.

“I’ve definitely gotten bigger and stronger. When I first started working out with him, I was big but I wasn’t toned," Wood-Anderson said.

"It was like sloppy big. But over the months, by body slimmed down and then I gained all the muscle back. I’m 255 solid now.”

Wood-Anderson has already spoken with Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano several times and talked with the staff about the playbook. Now that his academics are in order, he's eager “just get out there and get to work.”

“It’s been a wait, but I ready to learn the playbook and grind with the team,” he said.

Do they teach proofreading at all in journalism classes?

That's probably what he said. I am not a journalist, so do you change the grammar in a quote? Probably should put the correct grammar in parentheses.

Just from reading how most of those guys write when they're not quoting, I'm assuming he said it right but they wrote it wrong. They are not good with the grammars.

Well, I have said this before. I don't know Simonton's background, but Hubbs is not a journalist. He is a radio guy, who just owns a website. He didn't go to journalism school. I can get past his mistakes.

That's fine but if he owns the website he can hire an editor to fix these mistakes. It would make it look way more professional.

Writing protocol used to be when you quoted someone and there were spelling or grammar issues in the quote, you would just stick [sic] at the end so readers wouldn't think you were the literary retard.

Example: "That Crazy Ivan is one dumb sumbich [sic] ."

I guess he could. But there really isn't much of his stuff that is published nationally. There might be a quote or two taken every once in a while. His audience is his message board members. I never got really upset at his mistakes unless it's just difficult to understand something. I was a member of VQ back in 2000 before it was even a member of the Rivals network. Brent created a nice business for himself.

In this case, I think it's just missing a word. I think you can just add that word in parentheses, showing that you added it to make it grammatically correct.
