To all the height people:

Tim Jennings (Bears) led the NFL in interceptions with 9.

He's 5'8". Though, I think a lot of his work was across from Charles Tillman who is 6'2". I don't know which one of them blanketed Calvin Johnson but I know both times the Bears played the Lions CJ was held under 100 yards. That was 2 of the 5 times he was held under 100 the entire season.

Good pick up ....


Just hope we can keep these guys, it's a long way away till they sign that dotted line.

Jalen Hurd. That's the only one I'm 100% on.

 

[BornToBleedOrange]

This is one of the recruits I was really hoping we would get! He has great speed and is an excellent lockdown corner! Major BOOM!!!!! :dance2: :dance2:

The "unless" is what worries me. Lots of those big, physical receivers in the SEC.

WTH?? Zip it! Trying to make this less than a great thing for UT makes you look stupid. :crazy:

 

[Clemvolsince54]

Wow...just got back from overseas and dang what a nice roll we are on. Very impressive offer list on this guy.

Welcome home Air Force Vol,Stay safe and God Bless you
:hi:

I've grown at least ~2 inches from when I was a junior from 5' 11" to almost 6' 1" so he will be fine. Given I'm 22 now but you get the idea lol.

I'm pretty sure I grew 3+ inches between my Junior year of high school and when I started college. There's definitely an argument to be made that he isn't done growing.

He's gonna get a ton of experience on how to defend the big SEC WR going against our boys in practice

 

[rcvol]

As long as he is aggressive it won't matter if he's 5'4". You get into the WR off the line and disrupt his route and you win the battle most the time as a CB unless you are dealing with a big, physical WR.

Yep. See Honey Badger. That's all you need to know. There's much more to playing corner than height alone. Gotta be shifty. Gotta be a tough tackler. Watched this kid's highlights. He's got what it takes and then some. Excellent pickup.

Jalen Hurd. That's the only one I'm 100% on.

Vic is an EE

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Moved up to number 4 on rivals!! Yeaaaaaaaa buddy!! :rock:

I think you're looking at the wrong Rivals......

 

[Vol24x7]

Believe I heard TKjr was also an EE.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Starting on special teams so he can get down the field & knock the hell out of somebody. The dude looks like a mean little beast that's not scared to knock your block off. Plus that offer list he has is way out of sight. I see Michigan & Florida State was wanting this guy really bad....but suck it ya'll.

I think you're looking at the wrong Rivals......

Here is the Rivals link:
Yahoo Sports: Rivals.com 2014 Team Recruiting Rankings

We actually were at 4th right after he committed this morning. Someone else must have gotten a committment also that caused the rankings to shift again.

 

[VolMaster14]

I think you're looking at the wrong Rivals......

Uhhh, yea we were 4th when he committed! Sh*t can change by the minute with new commits and decommits.

BackBlast area clear? I feel a big BOOM coming on! And no...not the gastrointestinal kind.
