Vols in the XFL this weekend

[pimo1]

Absolutely correct. They also started him at a weaker position for him then the OL. NFL coaches immediately moved him 2 the ol

Kinda funny they both went to KC

 

[Dudleys87]

He did when he was drafted by KC then ended up in Oakland.

I don't even remember the 2 TE's on the Renegades.. did they ever play? Ellis I kinda maybe remember?

Wood-Anderson played he was just massively underutilized

sounds like it because I sort of remember the names but cant put faces to him or Ellis... then again 11-19 were dark days I was drinking my sorrows away a lot during those games.

 

[Probably_in_Class]

Why did they photoshop those guys into a current picture of the Liberty Bowl?

This is like the football forum equivalent of a dad joke. It's perfect. Well done.

How long have you been a fan? How do you not remember DWA? That was like maybe 5 years ago.

Ethan Wolf started 11 of 12 games his Freshman year, became first true freshman to start season opener at tight end in Tennessee history. 4th on Tennessee's career TE receiving yards list.

DWA was a highly rated JUCO who never lived up to the hype. Played in 24 games (17 starts) and had 38 career catches.

Ellis had 14 catches over 2 years.

I know who Ethan Wolf is I was talking about the other 2 on the renegades

I have been a UT fan since I was aware of college football? I actively started watching games in the mid 80s in my teens.

orlando guardians it is lol

 

[Vol737]

Alex Ellis was a walk on under Butch Jones. Ended up earning a scholarship, I believe, and ended up being a nice TE for us.

I think JaVonta Payton had eligibility left? Thought he would have benefited by staying another year. Thought Payton and Jalin Hyatt were very similar type wide receivers.

I know he was a 5th year senior when he transfered in with us..I'm not sure if he had that extra covid year or not??Kinda screwed everything up makes it difficult to know who's got or had what left.DWA was a huge disappointment but I like to think half of those dudes were the unfortunate victims of horrid coaching.Just as coaches are only as good as their players the same could be said about players are capped at the limits of their coaching..

We liked using Ellis in some trick plays. Seem to recall us throwing to him on a fake punt or FG in a bowl game. Mostly a blocker so he was really good at sneaking out and being open.

Fwiw He was diabetic I think.

He played a lot, don't know how you don't remember him.

 

[Grudenator]

Wood-Anderson played he was just massively underutilized

Woods-Anderson was a big dude

 

[pimo1]

hard to find stats for those games ...weird

 

[VaBornVol]

Josh Malone is an Orange & White game legend
