'25 KS TE Da’Saahn Brame (Tennessee)

[PA Vol]

Good for the kid and his family. I’m mostly bummed because I wanted to continue the streak of boomage lol

 

[GoodTimeVol]

I'm hoping we get to having an OSU sized budget one day.

It’s almost like we didn’t just take one of their priorities yesterday in Dye…I’d rather be Michigan and beat them on the field 3 years in a row with worse recruiting classes

So you would rather us be a cheating program?

I’d rather just have a natty, not going to go in depth in a recruit thread on their stealing signs $hit lol

His gf has deleted all pictures with him btw.

What a brame. Poor girl.

 

[walkenvol]

Total failure by the GF!

 

[CobbVol]

Now just focus on the 2026 TE's like Sneed and the big TE in NC.

 

[MarcoVol]

VQ or whoever should look into hiring one of these guys from Oregon. They’re good at getting the scoop before our side even knows what’s up

Oregon cheerleaders > girlfriend

Probably

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

Not saying I didn’t want Brame to be apart of this class because I did but this would’ve been a luxury pickup, we already got the TE we wanted.

You buttered it up a bit....but still classic VN..."we already got who we wanted"...

Staff can’t close.

Looking like he used UT for more NIL. He was all Oregon until the visit started straying and Oregon had to pony up more.

Seems to happen a lot. Oh well, we'll be ok edit this guy.

I have her phone bugged and she is on the phone with him crying… It seems to be working… let you all know more later.

 

[Glitch]

She's a Vol. She broke his heart.

She can do better.

Or he was feeling UT but Oregon was offering so much more money that the variables changed

luckily we only truly wanted 1 TE in this class and we got our #1. Brame would have been a great addition but the staff likes where we are at considering who we got in '24 and who we have lined up for '25 and certainly '26

 

[BJWeeks]

He could flip back to the good guys later on

 

[VolByLaw]

Why did UT not counter Oregon’s NIL offer?

Because Oregon felt like they needed him more. They went big. TN had a very competitive strong NIL deal in place but they weren’t going to be negligent.

The kid did multiple interviews about TN being the pick with me and some national guys which is why you saw the swing from Oregon to TN. He told Oregon and they doubled down and TN wasn’t going to do that. They have Jack and are very happy with him. They didn’t feel the need to just overpay to get Brame.

Love that!

 

[KingVFL]

The more you see us competing with Ohio State and Georgia and the less you see us competing with Texas, Miami Oregon for recruits is a good thing long term.

 

[Go Fight Win]

since you lot love to compare offer lists:

Brame and Jack have virtually the exact same offer lists except Jack has the Georgia offer (and they pushed hard) and Brame does not

 

[allamericanfulk]

Im confused you bring up a guy like McKinley on the DL that we would have liked to have but we were like last minute into the recruitment. We have known all along getting this guy would be a luxury over his perceived favorite Oregon. I don’t get your logic at all honestly…two different recruitments based on needs

We were last minute because we were all in on Kam, who was leveraging teams against each other for NIL

Kam wasn’t a huge priority last year like SDE is this year and we never once had a feeling we were the team to beat in that recruitment
