Wonder why we did not offer this mammoth. He has/had interest in UT but does not have an offer. We are looking for linemen. Dude is huge. Commited to Ole Miss

I keep wondering the same thing! Walker Valley is in East Tennessee about 2 hours south...seems like he would have orange in his blood!

 

[toxicdonut]

he must be good if he is from tennessee

 

[onevol74]

The previous staff thought that he had slow foot speed.

 

[jspvol76]

Does he have a chew in, or is that just his smile?

 

[warrior]

He is huge and must have Orange in his blood. It is kind of dissapointing how the previous staff ignored some quality in state talent just to go after the big flashy names.

If it takes you 2 hours to drive from Knoxville to Cleveland, you must have pissed off a lot of drivers on I-75.

Better than walk ons and at least it adds some depth. Muscle may catch up with size within a year and suddenly you have an All American on your hands.

Too late now--he already went to the trouble of growing that hair. Now the only other place in the SEC he'd fit in is in Athens.

I have Orange in my blood as well. That doesn't mean I'm an SEC-caliber football player.

Doubt you would see his 3.6 GPA and 24 ACT robbing people at Pilot.

 

[govols182]

Because muscle is what makes people All Americans...

And...

Your not 6.6 325 with a 5.5 40 and 29 inch vertical. Ole Miss thinks he is SEC Caliber. Didn't they put a hurtin on the great Monte and O's D this year?

Yes. With O's recruits.

 

[warrior]

Thought so.

5.5 is not good speed for an OT in the SEC.

 

[bluetickvol]

He's not very good at all. Ole Miss isn't getting much with this guy. He's slow and very soft. He is big however, so he has alot of upside and who knows, maybe he'll be good one day, but right now, he is extremely soft

 

[govols182]

Yeah, O recruited those guys and he obviously doesn't like this one. You lose. Game over.

Houston Nutt's opinions don't mean diddly squat to me.

 

[bluetickvol]

He's definitely not SEC Caliber! Nutt can have him.

 

[govols182]

Just because someone is 6'6 325 lbs doesn't mean they will make a good OL. In HS most guys use their body size to block/shed blocks. This is one of those guys.

 

[bluetickvol]

lol He cant shed any blocks! He was pancaked several times by our soft O line this year

James, Henderson, and none of the rest run faster than a 5.3.
