So what three star recruit TN signed in this class…

[brockytop]

do you feel will makes the greatest impact either early in his career or over the long haul?

 

[miket4god]

Duane Morris.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Duane Morris.

This is the answer. Morris is a home run threat in the open field. Steal of the class imo.

 

[Bigorangefaninga]

Tre Poteat, think he’s the most underrated prospect we signed

 

[AllThingsTN]

Depends on which site you go by. But Charles House is a 3 star on most of them. I think he’s going to eventually be a very good interior d-lineman. Which impacts the game so much more than people give credit for.

Morris and Baker

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Offense Morris and Baker. Defense House! House will be a beast along with the others in 1-2 years. GBO

I need to reevaluate Baker. Perhaps glossed over due to commitment timing. I agree with Morris and House.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I'll say Morris on offense and Poteat on defense.

Tempted to pick House, but I think Poteat's path to PT will be clearer after Gibson and McCoy go pro. I think one or both leave early. Poteat looks really good to me.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

I need to reevaluate Baker. Perhaps glossed over due to commitment timing. I agree with Morris and House.

I would agree, I feel stronger about Morris and House than Baker. But I still think he will get coached up and get the most out off his talent. GBO

 

[NighthawkVol]

Actually, now that I think about it, after Morris and Poteat, I think Ogumoru will be the best 3*.

 

[volmandu]

Agree with lots of folks pointing at Morris and House as potential steals as 3*s.

regarding Baker, I was not aware of much buzz for him .. but it could be coz he committed too early .. but good to hear that

do you feel will makes the greatest impact either early in his career or over the long haul?

If you eliminate all the guys who are 4* by at least one of the four major services, there are only six to choose from. I'll go with Poteat.

 

[VolInDayton]

Timothy Merritt was recruited much harder than his 3* ranking. I would add him to the list of House Protest and Morris.

 

[RAVOL]

This is a great question but honestly this is what makes this class so good. All our 3 star kids had a great year and I love the tape on all i do not see any reaches. So my answer Trey on D he is a do everything on field and plays the game always like a coach . Offense Guard from Oklahoma nasty demeanor good first step. In CHRIST Alone

 

[TenToesDown]

Timothy Merritt...I watched this kid play along side the #1 player(DB) in the state of GUMPS. He has the same tools...Niahim may be a step faster. QB went down mid season and Merritt step in and the team didn't miss a beat. Only loss came to #1 team in Georgia Carrolton.

 

[BADGER_VOL]

I have no way of knowing but I’d put my money on Tre just knowing what I know with my few contacts I have living in Wisconsi.

Known: very athletic, proved he can play so many positions in HS, coached well, very coachable, student athlete, etc

Unknown: I think most assume he’s a DB and have no doubt he will be but also won’t be shocked at all if he gets here and in time we can’t figure out how to best use him.

 

[Volsloco]

Dylan Lewis, no one threw his way much all year. One of the best cover corners despite his ranking.

 

[peaygolf]

Anes…..kids a baller.

 

[Ultra Plinian]

Duane Morris, hands down is severely underrated. He had 2000 yards his junior year and probably would have jumped higher on new lists (he did get 4☆ by Rivals) while committed to USC without missing the bulk of this season due to his ankle injury. His senior year has been stellar when he has played, however. He had 132 yards and two rushing TDs last week in their big win over Maryville. Despite the run by committeee in 2025 after Sampson leaves, I expect Morris will see the field and have impact as a freshman.

 

[volstudent26]

on offense either Duane Morris or Joakim Dodson. its really hard to tell how Dodson is going to pan out though but I do think he has the potential to have a Cedric Tillman type of career but he's just as likely to get buried on the depth chart.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Early on I think it would be tough for anyone of them to make much of an impact. On down the road give me Dodson

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

It’s hard to win at the highest level without reeling in a lot of 4 and 5 stars—it’s also hard to win at the highest level without hitting on some lower-rated dudes.

Might just be bias, but does it seem like the three-stars we’re getting now are better than a lot of the four stars we got in the 10s?

I’m betting at least a couple of these guys turn out to be ballers. Stoked to see what Anes, Poteat, and Morris can do.

Morris and Baker

Unlikely that Morris AND Baker outplay their ranking.

 

[perico]

Unlikely that Morris AND Baker outplay their ranking.

Morris is your prototypical Heupel RB at UT. Wright, Sampson, both speed backs rated 3 stars out of HS who significantly outplayed their initial ranking. Morris is basically the same style of runner as those two.
