Saw him and David Georges play against Maryville the other day. Baylor has probably the best two running backs in the state on their roster. Crazy talent assembling down there. How do they keep losing to McCallie?!?

Defense has just not been good. They have an amazing defensive coordinator ironically tho. The reason they're ranked higher by everyone this year is because they actually have some guys on defense now. Secondary is still very iffy tho and losing John Amofah Jr up front, who would've been one of the best 2027 recruits in the state, leave them a little vulnerable. That run game will legit be unstoppable and McCallie could be vulnerable up in the trenches this year

Losing John Amofah Jr was a big loss. Kid held his own and then some in D2AAA as a freshman. Their defense is much faster and more skilled this year though.

Very much expected. Ole Miss campus kind of felt like Baylor campus to him. Good kid who looked around and did his due diligence. Not a huge loss to our class.

Idk. I really think he’s going to be a great player. Ole Miss got a good one. Win a Natty?!? 😂 Good luck with that.

I guess he looked at our running back room and said he to himself he had a better chance of playing at Ole Miss than Tennessee. I agree with that thought.

Maybe.

He shouldn’t feel that way though.
I LOVE our guys on campus. But this dude would certainly compete if not start in 2 years imo.

Bishop and Lewis are both backs that have show they can carry the ball a lot.
Seldon and Keith are physically impressive, but do they have the “hunger” you want in an every down back?

Tennessee will win with or without this kid.

But I honestly don’t see a better RB prospect on our board…not even Morris whom I am very bullish on.

He's right in this scenario. Ole Miss fits him as well as anyone and believed in him a good bit before anyone else. And they did sell him on the fact that he'll get to play a lot super early and obviously Ole Miss naturally will be in the CFP hunt. Also important to remember he does not have the in-state ties beside being close enough to visit but he's going to be far from home wherever he goes. Great player, great kid that found an amazing opportunity for himself. Tennessee's RB room has the chance to be really deep with talent if they get who they want in 2026 (Savion Hiter, Jonaz Walton, and/or Ty'Riq Green). Should be anyway with Lewis, Seldon, etc.

We likely get our entire room back next year unless Sampson has an amazing season. It's not the best case for immediate playing time.

I remember when we had
Jabari Davis, Cedric Houston, Derrick Tinsley as 5 star Freshman RBs and
Travis Stephens as a senior. That recruiting class of 2002 we signed Gerald Riggs Jr to basically to replace the loss of Stephen’s.

Literally 2 years later Riggs Jr and Houston both rushed for 1,000 yards and Tennessee won the division. With Tinsley and Davis still on the roster.

This guy is a Top 5 want for me personally in this class. Along with David Sanders, Hayward, Radar Jackson, Na’eem Offord and Knight.

Knight will get plenty of exposure this season, but I’m telling you he’s more talented than ANY RB that I’ve seen in Mater Dei or St John Bosco backfield for the past 4 years…


We can’t get them all, and this weekend has been Euphoric ❤️, but I hope Heupel just chips away at this guy as the season goes on.
