From Cover 3:
Chip: Is Texas A&M defensive lineman Walter Nolan, former 5-star product, someone who really came on as a dominant player this year, would you say that's the top defensive option in the portal right now?
Bud: Yes, as of this moment. He is ready-made, impact defensive lineman. There's not a lot of guess work there. The guy is a stud. He'll get a huge bag wherever he goes.
Chip: It will be like when he was a recruit and all the big boys were there ready to pull it together for him. Cash in twice, good for you.
Tom: So which SEC team is he gonna end up at? Georgia? Alabama? Texas? [laughs]
Bud: I think maybe another orange team.
Tom: ...Clemson?
Chip: Syracuse!
Bud: Tennessee. He's from there, they recruited him hard the first time. I don't have a crystal ball pick in for it, but yeah.
Tom: Tennessee from Texas A&M? Is that an upgrade?
Chip: Texas A&M is losing a lot.
Tom: If I'm him, and I can go anywhere that I please... maybe it's just a thing where he wants to be closer to home, but if I can get a bag and play for a title contender it would be weird for me to go to Tennessee. But whatever.
Bud: When we did the show this past summer talking to different collective groups, I tried to pick ones that have good reputations, and Tennessee's has a really good reputation. The opportunities at Tennessee, especially if you're from there, could be pretty significant. But schools like Oklahoma and Texas, that's a big position of need for them. Miami is another one. He is going to be a coveted target for everyone.
