Reminds me a bit of Mecole HardmanI know most teams are recruiting him as a DB and we need elite players at corner, but I hope we can haul in enough blue chip corners in this class and next year where we have the option of playing him on offense. He’s just too good with the ball in his hands to not be playing offense. Or maybe he can be like Adoree Jackson or the guy that stole Peyton’s Heisman for us. I just see so much DeAnthony Thomas in him and our offense is very similar to the Chip Kelly offense they ran. The only difference is we don’t run the option as much. He would be unstoppable as the pitch man in our offense though with our wide splits

I think the average height for DBs was 5’11” a few years ago. IF he’s 5’10” he’s plenty tall enough to play CB. Idk that we’ll always play zone, I think that’s more that we don’t have the speed or athleticism to play press man right now.I’m not saying Boo can’t be a good corner but he’s only 5’10. I know someone will point out a smaller corner who’s been successful in the NFL, but this guy would be more valuable with the ball in his hands than he would be trying to excel in zone coverage imo
He's no doubt a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. He can also make a defense miss inside a phonebooth.. Those same traits you see on offense are also what make him a blanket on defense. A true lock down corner matched with the elite edge rushers we are acquiring is what leads to the elite defense we need to take that next step.
Great point.Boo is one of those rare talents that can be elite on either side of the ball. Elite cover corners are much harder to find than elite slot receivers.
He's a lock-down CB imo. And an astounding one. But don't feel slighted: as a DB he will end up with the ball in his hands a lot! And he will be a threat to score every time.Wish we would recruit him on offense. Size would be less of an issue as a plus. Can play RB and slot at a very high level. Also can play FS at a high level but might be short for FS and would probably move to the STAR, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing but he could be used so much more on offense and I would want the ball in his hands imho
The bonus here is if he's not one of our best corners when he comes in, they can immediately move him to offense and use him in the return game.Wish we would recruit him on offense.

I hope you realize that there are trolls here that are not Tennessee fans. I don't like when we get close relatives or friends of recruits on here because there are rivals posing as Vols to piss you off, and a few idiots that are Vols but are not representative of the fanbase.The best response yet!!! Lol ppl are crazy Imo
