'22 JUCO S Marquise Gilbert (Auburn commit)

[CNeagleVolFan]

@CNeagleVolFan does CN stand for Carson-Newman?

Indeed it does. Went there from 2012-2016 and played baseball.

After an impressive 56-17 win over Vandy this guy will commit… BOOK IT!!

64-10 IMO

70-20 is more like it. Candy is probably the worst opponent we will face all year. We pull the starters at the half.

W. We fell off hard this year tho lol

Tennessee will host one official visitor this weekend and that’s JUCO cornerback Marquise Gilbert. The Vols are working the Junior college ranks pretty heavily and this one appears to be an Auburn and Tennessee battle based off people we have spoken with.

So he’s playing corner instead of safety?

Pretty sure that’s a typo. Pretty sure he projects as safety.

I’ve seen him listed at both positions, so it’s probably not a typo, but you’re right, UT is recruiting him as a safety. Reminds me a little of Deon Grant…an athletic Safety who can slide to CB if needed.

I like his instincts more than anything seems to always be around the ball. Which I like. Actually breaks on the ball too. Something our current safeties don’t do.

Agree. I’d actually love to see McCollough put on 15 lbs and move to LB. His skill set seem to fit better there. Maybe landing Gilbert, along with the development of Charles (who I love) will allow that.

Commit watch?

Commit watch?

I’d be surprised. I don’t think we’re considered the leader heading into the weekend.

Commit watch?

Lol I assume Matt said something?

 

[VolsFan5]

If Harsin (sp!!) at Auburn leaves for the west coast which many believe that would help us with a number of prospects including Gilbert

I never saw him as a fit at Auburn. With that said, if he’s an anti-vaxer the left coast isn’t an ideal landing spot.

 

[Mr French]

Star if I had to guess. Allows him to play CB, Safety, and a light LB.

He was a surprising hire. Not just coming from Boise, but he had no prior ties to the South. I know it worked for Meyer at Florida, but it’s unusual.
