Coleman Thomas settling in at right tackle

[kamoshika]

In the blink of an eye, big Coleman Thomas went from the center of the offense to the center of the spotlight.

The reason was simple: Tennessee badly needed him to make the move.

The 6-foot-6, 315-pound freshman played center exclusively throughout his career at Fort Chiswell High School in Virginia, but the Volunteers plugged him in right tackle, where he's been a first-teamer since the first practice of spring.

"I'm going to take anything they tell me to do," Thomas said after Tennessee's practice Thursday afternoon. "If they tell me to stand on my head, I'm going to try and do it just to try. I pride myself on being athletic."

I agree his articles are good. Crazy how many Freshman we'll be depending on yet again. Lol

Coleman's Dad was my coach in high school, I remember him as a little guy. His grandfather told me he was going to UT a long time ago, which surprised me because Richie was a huge WVU fan. So glad he chose to go to Knoxville and not VaTech. GBO!

I hope this group can run block!!!!!

It's too bad that the KNS readers have to depend on slimy snarky sleazeballs like John Adams.
