I do think he will be a great one by the time his playing days are done at UT

It's time for KNS to dump Adams for Brown.

So he had two older brothers that played division 1 football and they didnt end up Vols?! I bet it was during Dooley's tenure, damn him....

We'll keep him. Thanks.

Yeah he will provide some good depth this year on D. Will do a great job on special teams while the game slows down for him. Can't wait to see how good he is a year from now. He and JRM will make for a really good LB corp.

If your marketing campaign involves your avatar, then I'd say, yes, you'll be raking in some cash.

Volnation longs for the days of Ben Byrd and orange colored glasses. Come on guys, if I've only got two weeks to live, tell me. Don't pretend it's only a cold.

I salute you.:salute:

Last 10 days before opener, it will all come together for Dillon. He will be a great asset in pass coverage too.

AJ, Dillion, Berry, Bynum, JRM, Weatherd in no particular order...That is the best 2 deep at LB we have had in quite some time!

And that's not even counting Maggitt as a possible OLB.
