Alvins telling me every time, Man, we need you down here. And I tell him its just a matter of time before I get down there, Kelly said.
Ive been in contact with Coach G just about every week, and he tells me everything that I need to know when I get down there. Ive got to be ready to work because you never know when one of our backs can go down. And were in the SEC, so we need more than one back to carry the load. He just tells me Ive got to be ready.
Him and Coach (Butch) Jones already definitely told me that I was going to be playing this year. Its definitely exciting. I dont want to just sit around. I want to be out there active, and I want to get a feel for all the competition that I can get.
I cant lie: Im not going to know what theyre going to throw at us during the summer workouts, Kelly said. But one thing that I have been doing the most is running. Ive been running a lot a lot of conditioning. Ive also been doing a lot of ladder work and footwork drills so I can get a feel with my feet and everything.
But as far as lifting weights and everything, I feel like, from what Coach G always tells me, Ive got to be in shape and everything, because theyre going to be able to put the muscle on me.
Its going to really be that conditioning (I need) in that no-huddle offense, and I definitely want to just be ready for it. And I want to get in that playbook as much as I can, because I never know when Ive got to be the next back in.

Im really close with a lot of the players, he said. Me and Alvin, were really close. Weve been in contact ever since the day after I committed and I signed on signing day. Me and Alvin, were pretty tight, as well as all the recruits. Were all pretty close. Im just really looking forward to getting there and just being able to contribute any way I can.
Kelly said he has high hopes for what he and his teammates can accomplish this season and over the next few years.
Its definitely exciting, he said. I feel like weve got something special planned for Tennessee, and were definitely about to make it happen. I just cant wait to get down there.
I really feel like were all on the same page, and weve all got the same goal in mind. We think that were going to be, in a few years, ready for a championship like, definitely ready for a national championship.
