"I think the world of coach (Chris) Weinke," Maye said. "I got to meet coach (Jim) Chaney when I went up there and I think the world of him. It was a great environment when I got to watch them scrimmage. I liked the way the program is down there."

The time with Chaney proved to be very valuable, as the two had a chance to sit down and talk about what Chaney sees in Maye and how he could impact Tennessee.

"He said he liked how all-around my game is," Maye said. "He likes that I can stand in the pocket and make the throw or get out and make a throw on the run. He likes that I have the quarterback build and have toughness."

And Chaney's pedigree with quarterbacks and offensive success is something that stands out to Maye.

"He's done a great job everywhere he's been," Maye said. "He did a great job with Jake Fromm. They have stuff built in their offense that you see in the NFL so it's great."

Maye has known Tennessee quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke for a while. Weinke played for the Carolina Panthers and has ties to the Charlotte area.

"He's the best of the best," Maye said of Weinke. "He's a Heisman winner so he knows the position and he played in the NFL, which is the goal. It would be awesome to have a coach like that."

"I'm just trying to figure it out," Maye said. "I'm trying to see as many schools as I can so I can have a decision by sometime early next year.

"I'm going to go to a football school. Just a place that I can play early that has a quarterback friendly offense."

He committed to Bama, but his quotes were that he wanted to play early. Kids are so confused.

Saban prolly negarecruited his own roster and sold him that with Tua going NFL, the “only” thing standing in his way is the lil brother and that old hack’s grandson...and that he’s better than both.

He's told some of his teammates the Bama commitment was soft and just about getting more attention from national media. He doesn't intend to get really serious about this until over the Summer.

From what he's telling teammates, keep an eye on UNC, UVA & possibly ND. Alabama still a possibility because of Saban. Vols not on his radar screen. Kid loves the blue blood / preppy lifestyle.
