'19 NC ATH Khafre Brown

247 shows OV’s this fall to UT and UNC. And was set for OV’s to Michigan this weekend and UGA next weekend. But now he’s coming back to UT instead of UM OV. I smell a commitment coming...
Yep - and my opinion is that it has more to do with trimming the fat of our current commits than missing on other guys we want.
 
Speed kills. Great news, imo. I've read that Ellis is a similar athlete to Bryce Thompson (another favorite of mine) and may be a take whether UT already has 2 WR commits or not and could switch to DB. Seems like Payton is slow playing UT and better make his mind up quick. Hopefully, UT throws the red carpet out for Brown and we get a commit this weekend
I'm pretty sure brown has wanted to be a Vol at least from memory of what has been said. I don't think we need the "orange" carpet just need to accept his commitment.

If that's true, UT must be ready to take it. Which tells me, Payton most not be a sure thing

It's HUDL so it's highlights, but his senior year film is a lot of running by people as well as making contested catches. Like Bass, I think I'd prefer Payton, but this kid can definitely play as well.

Also.... not that it would matter much I don't think, but I think he was good friends with Crouch IIRC.

Is Brown a legit 4.4 guy like Payton? Either way, I dont think we lose getting either of them. Payton is bigger and being a JUCO, would contribute sooner. But Brown is definitely a playmaker. We need speed and both have it.

Wish we could take both. Blueshirt one. We def need some speed. O and keep Keyton for sure.

Was thinking the same thing about Crouch. We read that somewhere, months back, can't remember where.
 
while brown said he was interested in tennessee even before that, he said he has heard good things about the vols from crouch, a standout at charlottes harding university high school who has visited them twice since january. were close, brown said of crouch, whos ranked the no. 18 overall prospect and no. 2 athlete in the 247sports composite for the 2019 class. he said he liked the school. He said he surely would visit more.

From an article RS posted back in April. They were supposed to visit together on March 23rd but Khafre participated in a track meet that weekend instead.

Track speed, too, BOT. I knew there was a connection to Crouch, but Crouch seems to be his own man. So, in the long run it may help a little if Brown commits, but probably not enough to matter.
 
I really like Payton, and I would take him in this class in a heartbeat. But I like that Brown is a high school player and has more time with this roster and staff. He's more the long-term fix I think we need at WR rather than bringing in Payton to patch up the next two years. BUT, like I said, I would absolutely take Payton.
