'19 TN DT Elijah Simmons (Tennessee signee)

[volfanCLT]

Kids got PIPES! Damn

 

[PruittEra]

Shocking people arent in here getting upset about his ranking and offers...weird

When it’s a 350lb nose tackle it’s kinda hard to be upset. This guy is gonna be a space eater. We need more like him no matter how many stars they have.

One who can dunk a basketball! Now that’s athletic!

Redshirt candidate?

Redshirt candidate?

Possibly. However, he might be to much to keep off the field....

Hopefully emit golden and savior Williams can pick the slack up. I believe if I’m not mistaken we lose all of our interior d lineman from last years starting group

Yes we did. That’s a good point. I would definitely like for the kid to redshirt. Savion is definitely going to see some PT that one is for sure.

I know squat about playing football...

also, broke my rule about not watching film.

first thought kid seems slow as **** on offense...theeeeen film showed defense. he seems quick for a 350 kid.

weve lacked a space eater in our 3-4. honestly i think that hurt us this year.

He gone... Coach Barnes gonna taken him from us...

Redshirt candidate?

Health permitted, yes. I think they’ll try to swing nose with Emmitt Gooden and Savion Williams...and maybe some snaps with Emerson. Pruitt wants Simmons at 325.

Pruitt wants him at the same size Gooden and Tuttle manned it at.

Hopefully that’s not to hard for him to do being an EE and under a healthier eating plan and college weightlifting program.

He’s obviously a natural athlete and will respond well.

Word. What up wit that bat, tho?

 

[Big Sun]

This kid is a freak athlete 352 Lbs and can dunk a basketball. I weighed 290 coming out of high school and all I could dunk was an Oreo.

But it was an alley-oop..

 

[reeceb73]

Just watched his film, I love this guy! Mean, athletic. NT or OG, he just has that nasty streak in him.

Trey needs to let him inherit the hammer.

I saw someone say on Twitter that Elijah sings too. Check out the 1:00 minute mark:

Um, this is awesome. Just became a big fan. Could be a Neville brother. No joke.

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

I heard the kid was a Volunteer fan growing up and when UT offered the rest of the recruiters kinda wrote him off. That was the explanation for his lack of big time offers.

 

[Nashvegas31]

If we get his weight down to 325 and I don't have any reason to think we won't from what people say about him.....lookout kid could be a monster for us

He's about to turn you into a corndog

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

No doubt big time potential here, just got to put in the work. GBO!!!!!

He needs to go on the Brian Williams PB & J diet.
