Unsung heroes of 2022

[LittleVol]

There's a few guys that aren't being talked up enough that were key to our 10- 2 season.

1) Aaron Beasley - stat wise took a step back, but that was because of more rotating with a healthy Juwan Mitchell. Was a much better player this year in how he effected the game.

2) Jaylen Wright- 786 yards rushing (5.8) per carry . He's maybe 205, but when he ran behind his pads he was a hammer!! Had some beautiful long runs and even more hard earned 3rd down conversions. He keeps us on a schedule and his maybe our toughest offensive player.

3) Ramel Keyton- 500 yards and 4 TDs. Huge plays in our big games! Critical catch game winning drive vs Alabama. Epic diving catch vs Florida to start our run that Florida couldn't catch up to. He showed strong hands, elusiveness, and tenacity all season.

And all of these guys come back next year! It could really be another special season I think

Omari Thomas and Darnell Wright played well this season to me.

Good ones!!

Both of those guys will play on Sunday.
Man Pruitt brought in some dudes during his time...

 

[GreveHaller]

I'm going Bru McCoy. He had quite a few clutch catches when we needed them

I'm gonna say this Vol fan......whoever he is:

Dee Williams really set himself up as a threat next season on returns. Nice to have that back there

 

[VolsSince78]

I’ll add the middle of our OL- Carvin, Mays, and Spraggins. They got a good push on run plays at least 80% of the time, and they did their job to keep HH upright and healthy in the passing game.

He didn't get much playing time on defense this year. If he isn't good enough to play significant minutes next year in our atrocious secondary I would love to see him move to WR. Dude is electric with the ball in his hands and has tremendous vision. Dont want to see someone with that much talent wasting away on a position he just isn't getting playing time at.

We may have not beat Florida without Thomas forcing a late fumble

All of these. None of them ever said, " I will give my SOME for Tennessee today."

Should have gotten more passes than he did IMO

Keyton balled out when Tillman was unavailable. Why he became a afterthought, to me, was baffling. Hyatt had a big year, and Bru soared once he got acclimated, but Ramel drove the car to the prom when Ced went down.

 

[VolMack——————$]

I’m gonna say the team as a whole. That leadership and togetherness…..Well at least until whatever the hellO happened before and in the South Carolina game !!!! But they did impressively come back with a really good game and a smack down on Vandy. But I find it puzzling what two different games looked like. Including some certain party who didn’t even make the ride to one game and starts the other ! And that’s Alllllllllll I got to say about that !

 

[VOLfrombama]

Jeremiah “Upchuck” Crawford and Gerald Mincey. They both played pretty well from the jump and seemingly got better as the season went on. We’re gonna need both of them next year.

 

[Boone&Crockett]

Chase Mcgrath

 

[RockyTop140]

Everyone on the OL. They definitely made the biggest jump this season and as a result we were the number one offense in the country.

coaches....1st time in forever we saw kids getting better as the season went along.

 

[pasadenavol]

Rod Wilkes - pure intimidation

 

[VFLCodyGBO]

Unpopular opinion: Banks, dude took the worst secondary I’ve ever seen and found ways to slow most teams down, stop some teams completely, and lay am egg against Beamers Babies.

I truly don’t think any more could be done with our D this year.

Tooting your own horn only works if you are train conductor.

Or a trumpet or saxophone player in a band. Actually, I'm with Manchester Vol, our fans are an incomparable collection of people when it comes to support for our team and more. Whether it's getting behind a kid mocked for his DIY Vols t-shirt, help a non-UTK student family replace a home, help fund a field-storming fine, or just cheering for our team. Quite frankly, Vols fans are one hell of a bunch of people. We're not just great, we're cosmic! The Tennessee Volunteers would not be the Volunteers without its empyrean fans.

So, Manchester Vol, toot, baby, toot.
