Tennessee continued their bowl prep Saturday morning and we got our first glance at the 14 midterm enrollees.
Before we get into that a couple of quick notes Jeremy Banks did dress for practice. He did some warm up stuff then seemed to be standing and watching more when they got into other drills. I didn't see Treyvon Flowers during the few minutes we got to watch. Without Jalin Hyatt out there and no Tillman, Bru McCoy was running lead in the receiver group with Keyton and White getting the bulk of the routes on air with Joe Milton. Milton throw the ball well and was sharp in that drill. I know that's not a shock and we all want to see that translate on the game field, but he was really good on stuff over the middle. Again routes vs. air.
As for Nico, he throws a pretty ball. He's tall and honestly he's not as skinny as everyone lets on. He's two days into trying to figure things out, but the ball comes out of his hand well there's no doubt about that. It's easy to see why school's coveted him.
I love Nathan Leacock's size. He has a frame to add weight and looks like a guy who could muscle people around.
There were no pads so it's tough to get any kind gauge on the linemen. Lang seems to have some quickness to him. Robinson and Trevor Duncan are learning the Rodney way. Caleb Herring needs weight. Airon Carter practiced on Friday but was doing drills on the side on Saturday. Moves well for sure.
Jordan Matthews and Cristian Conyer were going to drills for the first time today as they didn't get their physicals done till Friday. Caleb Herring needs to add weight as you would expect, but he's not significantly smaller than Josh Josephs, who also needs to add weight.
