Break out Defensive star

[VAVolsFan2009]

JRM would have definitely been my pick. However, when he couldn't catch a running Peterman Saturday, I'm a little concerned about his "SEC" speed. I'm still a big fan of him.

Did you watch him play special teams last season? The dude easily has SEC speed for a linebacker.

Pick 2 players who will be break out stars for us on D. Maggit does't count he already to legit to pick.

My picks:

Vereen
JRM

Vereen

JRM was a football playin MF'er at Clarksville northeast, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he turned out to be a star.

I thought this also until I saw Worley out run him. Worley was pulling away from JRM on his long OW run. I hope there are extenuating circumstances but what happened did happen.

Malik Foreman, JRM and Corey Vareen. Yes I know I picked three. Hope all three go beast mode all year!

Swafford and Berry... Maybe Gaulden

Nah. Watch the replay again. JRM has the speed and a good angle to get Worley but he quits on the play at about the 15yd line because he figures Coleman is going to make the tackle. Really lazy play, IMO. He just decided to take it off when he saw Coleman getting close and in the meantime Justin picked up another 10yds. I like JRM and I realize it was a spring game, but you can't be doing that.

 

[triad280]

if Justin Coleman plays like he did in the OW game,he'd be my pick...
as far as a newcomer,Rahaan Gaulden...he is a 5 star talent and a baller....

 

[Remy]

Moseley, just hearing too much press about a young freshman at a skill position for him not to be VERY special ...

 

[865dude]

Justin Coleman...I know it seems crazy but I think he thrives in the nickel and it is such an important position.

I could see that. More experience, some more help on defense.

 

[BartW]

Berry and Berry

 

[orangebloodgmc]

This was a good thread; lotsa good answers.

 

[gunner]

Foreman and Swafford.

Swafford? He looked terrible in the O&W game. If he's still the starter in the fall when the five new safeties show up, UT is in for a really long season again.

 

[Phat-Phil]

O'Brien and Carr... Would be nice at least.

 

[Roustabout]

Dale Carter

 

[VOLinNC]

I predict that R. Gaulden starts at S. Dudes a tackling machine and fast.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Vereen and JRM

 

[Slingshot]

E.Mosely, Sutton, Randolf and we could end up with Kelly, Mcdowel or Gaulden at SS and any combination of those guys i think will equal SHUTDOWN. Colemen or Foreman at Nickel.

Front 4 is Maggit, Mixon, Saulsberry, Vereen with Hendrix, J.williams, O. Williams, Henderson, Carr, Sawyers, and O'brien in the rotation. Big Charles might even be in the rotation some this year.

LB will be Weathered, AJ Johnson, and Reeves Maybin. With J. Johnson, Bates, and Bryant in the rotation.

Our quality depth is going to improve dramatically in August when the rest of this recruiting class shows up. Sorry I know I didn't really answer the question but I'm hyped about this team over the next few years.

And I'm drunk.

 

[HARTUPM]

Needs to be a DT and/or DE for us to have a decent year
