Peyton Lewis just MIGHT be Special...

[TAF]

...FASTER than Squirrel??!!

 

[Hacksaw]

Saw his interview last week and he just exudes maturity and confidence. I can't put my finger on it, but there is just something about this kid that makes me think he might be great.

Time will tell, obviously.

Hope so. He’s from Salem, VA which is about 15 miles from my hometown, Roanoke, VA.

A fun fact~

JJ Reddick, Ronde Barber and Tiki Barber are probably the most successful athletes from the Roanoke, VA area.

Hopefully Lewis is the real deal.

This is the interview. Just look at his posture, calm demeanor and just the way he carries himself. He looks like he is in command of the room. Uncommon for any college kid, much less a freshman.

Agree.

This young man is special.

Hope we get to see a lot of him this season.

Salem has some really good football teams. I was excited to see Lewis sign with the Vols.

I liked his comment about UT running game is a “slow to fast through” approach in contrast with his “fast to fast through” I formation in HS, meaning patience and reading keys are more important now.

 

[LittleVol]

National sprint champion.

6’1
210
4.3 speed

He and Squirrel both have clocked below 10.6 100 meters.

Heupel loves recruiting speed. Real speed

He was one of my favorite recruits from the 2024 class. He should’ve been a fringe 5*.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Maybe I can splain something. As an embryo, PL received an injection of the 3X2(9YZ)4A speed formula. When he was 11yrs old, he received a DNA graft from Jamal Lewis, and had his name changed from Peyani Jeweller, to Peyton Lewis. Now, there's more to this matter, but it's classified information.

 

[PreacherVol2]

Maybe they could put him in as the kick returner, kind of like Evan Berry.

Yeah, I thought that was interesting, too.

Yes sir! Do you remember Curtis Staples from Patrick Henry HS? Although he didn’t have as successful a pro career as the three you mentioned, he was an absolute problem from behind the 3-point arc in high school and at UVA

Makes sense

Great interview. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely a cultural fit.

All the RBs are going to look good running behind the many talented OL that the VOLS have committed!!! OL will definitely result in Top Tier RBs to Commit to VOLS soon.

I forgot about Staples.

Cool story- I used to baby sit the Barber twins. I was also a little league baseball scores keeper and PA announcer. That was a fun gig for a 14 yr old. The Barber twins were fast and athletic and then years later… on to high school and UVA.


My brother graduated from Cave Spring in 1985. I’m four yrs younger than him but attended most of his games as he started at point his soph- senior seasons. That was a huge deal b/c 9th graders still attended middle school - known as “jr high” back in the day.

My brother played against Richard Morgan, Michael Porter (Pulaski), Ramon and Damon Williams at Fleming ( played college ball @ VMI). Morgan was a cocky SOB but fun to watch.

Fun times!

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Michael Porter, a 5-foot-11 guard considered one of the Top 20 high school recruits in the country, will be academically ineligible to play basketball for Virginia Tech next season.

Porter, who won a national slam dunk contest at a recent high school basketball all-star game, will not finish his eight semesters of high school with the NCAA's required 2.0 grade point average, Virginia Tech Coach Charlie Moir confirmed Wednesday.

Yeah, cool to see though I rarely visit Roanoke anymore. My in laws lice there but my family has passed.

Do you live in SW VA?

Yes…it is a nice place to call home.

Cool. I attended VA Western for two years after taking a yr off after graduating from Cave Spring in 89. Then I picked up and transferred to UT in 1992. I never visited the campus nor been to Knoxville but came across literature about their liberal arts program.

My wife is from Vinton and graduated from Byrd
