Wait....HE PUNTS TOO?!

I saw that. My only issue is his lower core strength. I think if he could increase his trunk strength, to saay, deadlift 760 lbs, he would be higher rated.

When is he committing?

When is he committing?

If I had to guess, October 1st. The day after he officials

Okoye played just a handful of offensive series, but caught a 20-yard pass in the first half..., added a 30-yard reception to start the second half...and then added another catch on a 2-point conversion...

Okoye also punted twice, sending each kick 50 yards and pinning Kiefer inside the 10-yard line both times.

...Of course, Okoye was a wrecking machine on defense, lining up mostly at right end, occasionally at left end, and a couple of times at inside linebacker.

...Okoye excels at the speed rush (he said he recently ran the 40 in 4.53 seconds and will keep pushing to get it in the 4.4s), but he also delivers a sledgehammer impact at the point of attack with a good variety of pass-rush moves and an intelligent approach to the position. He engages blockers with force, easily pushing them backward and creating pileups in the backfield, knows how to use his hands to disengage, and will become even more formidable as he lowers his pad level.

I know this kid is in homeschool league, but it sounds like he can really play. I hope the coaches can land him.

Per Chad Simmons

Simmons’ Take: “Tennessee put itself in a good position after a strong summer visit in June. Danny Okoye has gotten comfortable with the coaches in Knoxville, he likes the potential fit on and off the field and one source feels the Vols are the team to beat. Okoye is from Oklahoma and he takes his official visit to Norman this weekend. The Sooners are a contender along with LSU and Texas.”

 

[MoB_MoVols]

Danny Okoye will be at Oklahoma this weekend and the Sooners are the Vols main competition for his commitment. Tennessee continues to have tremendous dialogue with him and he has told us he can’t wait to get back here at the end of the month.

After an injury I’d assume a player might want to get down to business and pick his school. I know I would

[Volfansince1980]

AP suggested OU may have put the pinch on him over the weekend. Need him to make his OV here

We will see if TN can flip it back but right now OU has most of it coming out of the weekend.

Too early to tell. You see what AP said. Give it a minute to see if we can rally.

Not great right now

 

[BADGER_VOL]

My son is at OU…we can’t lose him or he’s gonna give me grief.

 

[VolByLaw]

Before the weekend, Tennessee was the favorite according to more than one source on my side of things... Coming out of the weekend visit to Norman, things have shifted... Shofted towards OU...

And may have shifted enough for a commitment to come in Sept. Something I will be keeping a close watch on in the coming days/weeks.
