'24 TN LB Edwin Spillman (Tennessee)

[kamoshika]

Tennessee football commit Edwin Spillman is now an offensive threat for Lipscomb Academy. The four-star linebacker scored his first touchdown of the season in his second game of playing offense this season. Spillman, who was lined up in the backfield, caught a short pass from Tav Shaffer and weaved through the defense into the end zone for a 26-yard TD reception.

...Spillman entered the game with 50 tackles for the season.

time to move him to TE, right? maybe even RB.

Love our guys making the trip! Peer recruiting is awesome!

Love the graphic

Also, I can't imagine how amazing it would be to be watching the game in that rocking stadium... and know that you were going to be on this team next year.

Maybe our most important recruit for 2024.
After our LB play and injuries.

We need a thumper that can run like this kid. Like Carter. We need a portal guy too.

We have Telander and Carter as viable options at LB for 2024. Maybe move McDonald to ILB

I think Pili will get a medical.

I hope he decides to file for one. Ncaa can be stingy giving them out, but he deserves one. Would love to have him back for an actual season.

Do you view Smith as a bust?

Do you view Smith as a bust?

Not all all. They elected to redshirt him but was very high on his ability in preseason. Probably needs a year in weight room

 

[LittleVol]

Do you view Smith as a bust?

I was high on him coming out of HS.
But even after the injuries at LB they still played a walk-on LB before him.
Maybe Heupel feels like it wouldn't have made much difference, so he just wanted to save his redshirt for future seasons?. IDK.

But right now, all I know is that Telander and Carter look like they belong.
Not a fan of the 2022 LBs. either of them.

Pili has been injured for 3 years in college now. We just don't know what to expect from him.

Spillman is a much needed addition. Hopefully Smith can make some huge gains this off-season.
And hopefully we can pull the Razorback LB.

Smith wasn't able to come in and put on the kind of weight that Carter and Telander did. I expect Smith to be an important back up and special teams ace in 2024, if he sticks around. He should be physically ready by next fall. We are building a very nice, young LB core with the '23 and '24 classes. We also have a good shot at some real studs in the '25 and '26 classes.

Jean-Mary will work through the mid-state on Friday morning, checking in on Edwin Spillman and others. He will end his day in Atlanta watching a playoff game.

Him being here in the spring would be huge for his development.
