Did DE Marteze Jackson commit?

[VolsCigarMan]

Scout is showing DE Marteze Jackson as a Vol commit Scout.com: Marteze Jackson Profile but then it shows also as a South Alabama commit? Does anybody know????

 

[VolsCigarMan]

Sorry, here is the other link Scout.com: Football Recruiting showing him on our commit list to the Vols?

 

[spazzyvol]

i think he's ours

 

[Adam Sandler]

it was known that he was ours if we wanted him.

 

[spazzyvol]

ha! he's our first "2 star", but really he is 3

 

[UTCVol]

Good pickup if true.

At the very least, it's added depth at DE or LB.

 

[Big Orange Bo]

Will get confimation soon if it has happened. GBO

 

[UTCVol]

Austin Price just confirmed on VQ.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Volquest says he committed.

GVX said Jackson was LB not a DE.

Looks like a Kevin Burnett with less speed. Rivals has him 4.7 in the 40

The coaching staff couldn't care less who you want.

 

[Probably_in_Class]

This isn't surprising. We were easily his best offer...

He's a tweener from the looks of it. Played mostly DE this year.

He is 205, he should play LB, seeing as how we need bodies there anyhow.

Good pickup, looks like he may be a jack linebacker if we run a 3-4 or a good linebacker/defensive end.

 

[hdrizzle21]

Gotta love stealing those South Alabama commits haha. He is obviously a guy they see potential in and looks to be a project. Hopefully a redshirt year will help him get bigger to be an effective linebacker, if not a good special teams player

Yeah, who wants a 6'2" 202lb 18 year old LB who runs a 4.7 second 40..

We have 10 spots to fill in the next 11 or so days. I have posted that our LB corps isn't as bad as it seems, I believe that, however we do have 2 redshirts coming in at that position and 3 players coming off injury.

So by all means lets not take this guy..:banghead2:

and the coaching staff has had little time to work with. i wonder if the offer wouldve been extended had the staff had been in the recruiting fold a lot longer with other recruits...

Definitely not a tweener...played DE most of the year because his HS (Demopolis) places extreme emphasis on speed over size. Therefore, he was used as a rush end most of the season. LB all the way.
