Who knows where

Roman Harrison
will play on the next level. That is a question Jeremy Pruittand his staff will have to figure out, but the Vols could have found a diamond in the rough.


Harrison is a 6-2, 240-pound athlete with long arms and quickness who plays nose guard for Bainbridge. The Bearcats finished 5-5 in the regular season, but went on a five-game winning streak in the playoffs to win a state title. After three overtime periods, Bainbridge beat Warner Robins 47-41 Tuesday evening. Harrison was a big reason why.

He was almost unstoppable. Warner Robins tried to block him with two offensive linemen all night, but did not have much success. He was constantly pressuring the quarterback and getting into the backfield. He flashed quickness off the ball and a spin move that the opponent had no answer for. Playing interior defensive line, Harrison finished with seven tackles and a sack. He had over half a dozen pressures, too.

One of the biggest plays in the game was when Bainbridge blocked a field goal at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime. Harrison was in the backfield immediately.

The question will remain about what position Harrison settles in to. Some feel he is a stand-up linebacker who can rush the passer. Some feel he will add weight and become a defensive end that plays with his hand in the dirt. There are even some who feel Harrison could push 300 pounds and be a quick interior lineman. It will be fun to watch as he develops on the next level, but this can be said with certainty: Tennessee found a good one.

oof.

if he's that long, and that quick, why on Earth would you want to put 60 lbs on him?

6'2", 240...he's already a stand up OLB....lol

if you can put 15/20 lbs on him, and keep the quickness, then put him at DE.

i think we shold be excited about this guy.

LOL… Only Butch Jones would try to put 60 pounds on him and try to make him an interior DL. Pruitt will not do that. Volquest needs to remember who is no longer our coach.

I'm going to add Russell in here also. Tennessee is getting quite a bigger with this class. I think people are going to be saying the same about Russell and Harrison as was said about Barnett as soon as they step on the field. These kids probably going to be in the rotation early. Competition going to be fierce.

Reminds me of that youtube video of Christopher Hitchens in back of a cab, colleague asks him what is the one argument from the other side that makes you think? He replied " Its the idea of this fine tuning, of the constants of physics, etc. It's certainly worth spending some time thinking about"

Everybody believes in at least 2 miracles
That the origin of the universe was created or popped into existence out of nothing
And that life was created or assembled itself against the laws of entropy, chirality, and enormous probability

The big thing with me is how could a random and blind process be guided in any way without a mind behind it. There is no instance of a code (DNA) and a language (genes) that we know of that was not made by a mind. So the origin of information must be the key. Not shannon information but specifically complex information.

Hitchens was right in that respect, these things are certainly worth spending some time thinking about.

Edit found it
