'24 GA DL Jeremias Heard (Tennessee commit)

[SweetasSoda]

But is this the type of player that will beat UGA? You’re dodging the question.

So you are expecting us to only take what the recruiting services have ranked in the top 50 so on paper it will appear that we can beat GA? Or do you expect the coaches to take players they think will help them win a national championship because they believe they can develop them to be what they need? That is the question. Just accept that they are not going to ask your opinion. Or the recruiting service’s either.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yes. Are you the type of fan that makes the fan base better?

Absolutely not.

 

[utvolmaniac]

This coaching staff just keeps reeling them in.

We're his only offer...in total? Is that accurate on 247?

This will either be the coolest story ever or a wtf moment Dude certainly looks the part though

In CJH we trust

Garner wants him too I think.

 

[ENGRVOL]

I trust a no star player that Coach Garner wants to be a solid player for us much more than any 4 or 5 star that Butch or Dooley got. Welcome to Rocky top!!!

Garner wants him too I think.

Someone please point out the recruiting service guru who’s opinion on a D lineman you trust over CRG’s so I can add another fool to my growing ignore list!

You would think that at least he would get a pass.

I am an old , old guy who watched Doug Atkins play at Tennessee and in NFL ...best football player wo ever lived. Size-wise ,he reminds me of doug .Now if can play even 50% like Doug we should sign him.

doug also came to Tennessee as a basketball player and Neyland stole him.

Maybe he’s the next McCullers?

Could be, but 6'7ers tend to end up at OT. One article even mentioned TE. With a background in basketball, he should be pretty athletic and versatile.

Talk about under the radar...peeps had to dig for tape in the age of HUDL. Diamond in the rough rough.

Jeremias Heard has definitely provided us with one of the more unique evaluations of the 2024 cycle. A basketball player by trade, Heard spent this past fall learning how to be a defensive lineman at Rome (Ga.) Model 9-12. After finally finding some tape, we can relay that the results were a bit mixed, but there’s no question that Heard is big -- like over 6-foot-6 big -- and has a chance to be something

I know that .I played Biddy basketball and Doug used to come see me play and did a little mentoring in the process.He told me the story of how he met Coach Neyland the 1st time and it was walking across campus and Coach asked him what he was doing on campus and Doug said playing basketball ,Coach prevailed on him playing football and the rest is history.

 

[gmoneyvol]

Any football highlights of this kid ?

Was about to call BS then realized it was Alex.

Hello good sir. Great story. Were his hands as massive as they say?

 

[volfaninpa]

Does anyone remember the picture of Jarnell Stokes' brother in middle school chasing some tiny player?

That is who this kid with his size makes me think of.

McCullers was poorly coached. He played a little in the NFL.

[chandler bing]

This guy has the potential at OT to be a Jonathan Odgen, Orlando Pace Jr, Orlando Brown Sr. type of OT imo.

Could be, but 6'7ers tend to end up at OT. One article even mentioned TE. With a background in basketball, he should be pretty athletic and versatile.

Most places have him listed at 6'8-6'9.

Several schools wanted to see him in person, including several of the big name schools. He basically told them no thanks, he’s been dialed in to TN for awhile.

Yep....even larger than that.

How in the world can that question be answered? You ask a question that’s literally impossible to answer. For all we know this dude could be our Ndamukong Suh. Your question has a silly premise. No single type of player is gonna help us beat UGA.

 

[Glitch]

BOOM!

 

[SugarCC]

But is this the type of player that will beat UGA? You’re dodging the question.

Yes, this is the type of player that can beat UGA. Josh Heupel and Rodney Garner agree with me. What do you have?

My dad took me to meet Atkins who was signing autographs at Clinton Cards and Comics when i was about 9 or 10 yrs old. We shook hands and remember it felt like he grabbed half of my arm. Massive, indeed.
