'20 IL OG Javontez Spraggins (UT SIGNEE)

[VOLFan65]

Am I the only one that thinks we should stop calling it "circle of life"? Sounds soft and Butch is gone. Motion for a new name.

We’re not even doing that drill tho.

Oklahoma Drill FTW

And can’t believe nobody’s acknowledged just how much of a failure by this staff it was...being...three star....something, something.

Bull in the Ring? Also what @butchna said.

Can't wait to see this guy mauling people..

Over the middle?

Alas, I show my lack of practice knowledge. Nothing to see here everyone. Carry on!

With Phil back on the scene, I believe Tennessee drill is the preferred nomenclature.

I heard JP mention him the other day and how he has taken advantage of the extra reps while players were out for contact tracing.

Hubbs said earlier this kid will see the field in some form or fashion this year.

Back in this thread somewhere I recall coaches having to swap up holding the pads when they first ran across him as he was hitting that hard.

He was a favorite recruit of mine cause he committed to us and never waived on his commitment even when his teammate went to aTm. He wouldn’t even let other coaches in his house. Luv it for the young man.

Same. He was a nobody toiling in obscurity in East St. Louis completely under the radar of the recruiting services. Now he looks like he may play on the o-line in the SEC as a true freshman. He may end up being our version of The Blindside.

Excited to see him play.

I don’t remember which national guy said it, but somebody Spragginz was the meanest OL recruit heading to the SEC this past class.

It's something my brothers and I did prior to our Sunday football matchups. It's not something fancy, so why does it need a name?

 

[WonfulVol]

I feel like this dude is going to be a starter before long.

Here’s a rare positive @Catbone bump in its natural habitat

Its almost October. I can type out another positive post then!

bruh

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

This kiddo wouldn't be here if he had been a senior this year. IF memory serves, he was discovered while camping at Tennessee just because he came with a seven on seven team.

I wonder how many kiddos are going undiscovered because of the loss of camps and the cancellation of seasons. It's a true disservice.

Opinion on this kid as a prospect?
Took schools a minute cause he’s not the prototype body but he’s super aggressive, actually very flexible, and his kicked everyone’s tail I’ve seen them put in front of him for two years. He got 15 offers last weekend after schools saw him at Lindenwood. He’s a pure football player. Meanest OL in the Midwest this year IMO.

Bump

Yeah it was Alan Treiu with 247. Said he was the meanest OL from the Midwest in the ‘20 cycle,
edit: just saw ACvol’s bump.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

This guy is gonna end up being one of those road grading OGs we love to watch play.

247Sports’ director of recruiting Barton Simmons recognized Spraggins...with one of his SEC superlatives during the 247Sports Signing Day Show, calling him the “meanest offensive lineman” among SEC signees. “I think Javontez Spraggins is awesome in terms of what he does at the point of attack — just nasty,” Simmons said.

Here are more comments regarding Javontez’ mean streak, these from Barton Simmons.

Javontez made a hit with me last year after he committed when he kept telling Rivals and 247 that he was “746%” committed to the Vols.

... East St Louis is actually pretty well known Nationally. They've had many seasons were they went undefeated and ended the season National Ranked. Also Spragginz had a teammate that was top 150 Safety prospect .

Yes. Very glad to have him too.
