Vols' Berry brothers blazing their 'own path'

[kamoshika]

Their father set the standard.

Then their older brother raised the bar higher.

For Elliott and Evan Berry, though, there's not as much name-driven pressure as you might expect.

The Tennessee freshman defensive backs are continuing a family legacy that began when their father, James Berry, ran for more than 1,700 yards and scored 19 rushing touchdowns for the Volunteers from 1978 to 1981 and continued when brother Eric became the program's last superstar from 2007 to 2009.

The Berry twins, as they've been known since Eric was a big-time recruit seven years ago, want to make their own name.

Evan Berry was the GA 5A 100 meter state champ this past spring? I'm surprised more aren't talking about his speed!

It'd be cool of these kids came in and made an immediate impact, even if it be on special teams the way JRM and Swafford did last season. And I think they can too!

Wonder who the fastest on the team now? Seems like we got several 4.4/4.5 guys last year

Hurd had a 4.37, I believe. I'm not sure if that is official or not though. Hard to see many beating that.

I believe that's right. I seem to remember the Berry twins being timed in the 40 this past spring. they were timed with a 4.37 & a 4.38, with the loser complaining. The times may not be accurate, but those two are fast. We are going to love this team's speed

Lets just hope that's all they are blazing...
