That's just not fair...

Numbers are interesting this year. We actually have 7-10 seniors (don't know how many) that actually won't count against the 85 because they get to return for the extra year because of covid. Its like Fulkerson doesn't count as one of our 13 scholarship basketball players because of covid. So although the 25 is still a hard number we can still add probably at least 2 maybe 3 more for the 85. Then there is the possibility of a waiver or 2 getting approved (because of losing K Evans and French, etc) that could factor in. Its a mess for sure but the coaches know where they are at.

Fit
Terry is not just a big body in the middle of the defense. This is a kid with an immense amount of untapped potential who has really only played two full seasons of football in his life. He will plug into the middle of Tennessee's defense, and I feel confident that he will make a push to start, as Rodney Garner will look to revamp that front group, which struggled mightily at times in the spring. Measuring in at 6'4", 320lbs, Terry is already a space-eater, but when disengaged from a blocker, he moves like he is 265lbs. He pursues well in all phases of the game, and he has developed a nice move set for this stage of his career, which should only continue to improve under Rodney Garner. This is a guy that will give centers all that they want in one-on-one situations.

Impact Rating: 8.5 of 10
I know it seems I have been high on all of these transfer ratings of late, but they have all addressed a key need, and the Tennessee staff is truly excited to get these players in the mix. Terry is no different. Adding Juwan Mitchell was huge for the Vols, but putting Terry in front of him makes that even more significant. Terry is not a guy that many centers and guards are going to be able to handle one-on-one all game long. He will beat them at some point, and if an offensive line even has to chip him in support before moving to the second level, it frees Mitchell up, even more, to make plays with his quickness to the point attack. The second reason Terry's addition is critical for the Vols is that this is bringing in a guy who has handled his business academically and understands the demands of college on and off the field. Finally, he has four years remaining to play. He was a redshirt freshman last fall during the free-to-play COVID season, so he will have four years in Knoxville. It addresses major needs on a lot of fronts for Tennessee.

  • Kansas reporter here — This guy is a much better player than his stats. Really worked on his body. Allowed him to play more. Also drew a bunch of holding penalties if memory serves. He's a baller. Played basketball in HS if you can believe it (and was a guard, not a center haha). He said he got crossed over bad one day and immediately gave it up and went to football. Turned out to be really good at it.
    Attracted legit interest late out of HS, but loved Les Miles. Coaching staff change (and likely defense/scheme change) made him open things back up. Envision him as a legit contributor wherever he goes, though obviously I'm not an expert on Tennessee. Even if it's just depth, he's good enough to get on the field. He's more mobile than you'd think and he's got the strength and size to bother people. And he's a funny guy. Enjoy him!
