If he's still a freshman, his first academic year must not have gone well.

Hmmm...let's see. It's still the same school year as the one he was in while playing ball as a freshman. Hmm...maybe he's still in his freshman year.

Maybe your freshman year didn't go so well huh?

You plan your classes around semesters with no football.. during the actual season you have the least amount of classes possible.

It is still impressive.. just sayin

You have to admire and respect a young kid like this.

On or off the field he's going to make us all proud he's a VFL!

#BrickbyBrick...VFL...GBO!!!

Cool thing about Dobbs...is that he's hedging his bets. He's going to be set either way....football or engineering. He's not going to be spending his life moaning that the coach drives a Lexus and would only give him tacos once in a while. Dobbs is taking advantage of his scholarship and doing his best at football. That's something that every adult vol fan should respect and be proud of. Go Vols! Go Smart Vols!

Sorry - did not mean anything bad or offensive by this - just thought that "LotteryPick Well Versed In Sarcasm" (which sounds cool by the way) did not sound like a description of someone who would be expected to rationally point out that football is not the most important thing in the world (especially on the football forum) :)

Not sure what you mean. There have been many "Scholar Athlete of the week" that actually mean something. I remember Bowles being selected as an All SEC scholar athlete for 2013 as well as many other athletes from other schools that have excelled in the classroom as well.

I believe the op is referring to how the SEC and other conferences promote the SA of the week and its, almost without exception, a player who contributes considerably less on the field. Long snapper, fifth string guard, back up fullback, etc. no disrespect to any previous recipients. I had to work very hard to maintain my grades even w/out athletic responsibilities. They all deserve recognition, but it feels as if the promotion the conferences put into this is a bit misleading. How often do you see the Scholar Athlete of the Week segment and think, "who is that?" We all realize that each student athlete has to decide internally, whether to major in their respective sport or in a field of study. I often feel the promoters are insulting our intelligence by pretending that's not the case. JMO. Of course I could be wrong.

I can't speak for lottery pick but I know for myself your first post was somewhat incoherent. That I believe is why he responded with "?" but now I understand what you were saying lol

This is great. There is a similar writeup from the honors program here:

Joshua Dobbs | Chancellor's Honors

If he can make it through Honors Engineering Fundamentals I and II (EF 157, 158)while playing football, he deserves even more praise than he is getting now. Probably one of the best taught courses at UT, but the time commitment for it is equivalent to a part time job. I don't know when he could have slept last semester.

Dobbs has eyebrows in this picture. :rock:
