He looks like OUR COACH and thatās good enough for me. Fell really stupid now how much I doubted the man when AD White announced him
āYou canāt stress this enough, but these are the recruiting wins that can help your program maintain and potentially advance,ā Wiltfong said of the younger Spillman. āThe Vols have found their way into college footballās short list of programs that have an actual chance to win it all, and Spillman is that caliber of player to suit up on that stage ā size, speed, range. Heās a tone-setting tackler, an instinctive football player thatās always around the action.
āI particularly like how quickly he closes on the ball and his change-of-direction tackle ability,ā Wiltfong said of Spillman. āHe gets downhill in a hurry, leading to negative plays in the backfield.
āIn addition to the physical traits, as exciting as beating some of the best programs in college football for Spillmanās verbal, is the intangibles here. He is a winner, an integral part of two straight state championships. He was coached hard. Heās a disciplined player, and heās going to bring that right makeup to Tennesseeās linebacker room and beyond.ā
