walk-on linebacker Nikolay Timoshchuk

[kamoshika]

Besides have a cool name, this kid (6-1, 235 RS FR) looks like he could become a potential contributor down the road. He put up impressive numbers his junior year at Chattanooga Central (112 tackles, 13 TFL, 4 sacks) and was doing well as a senior (56 tackles) when he sustained a knee injury halfway through the season, which led to ACL surgery.

Reported a 4.69 40 time and 335 bench press heading into his senior year. The son of Ukrainian immigrants, he's said to have an outstanding work ethic and he boasted a 3.9 GPA in high school.

Sign this guy up with Chongo Kondolo

Pretty solid #'s for a linebacker. His 40 speed is pretty good, let's just hope his quickness after planting is where it needs to be, but I would take a walk-on with those statistics anyday!

 

[VolMaster14]

Does he carry an AK-47?

I think this would get all of us!

 

[rickyb712]

[catchnburn]

Guessing the OP is Kamoshika Timoshchuk?

 

[Clemvolsince54]

We could call him NT for short and then set back and laugh at everyone beetching about our taking a 235# nose tackle.
:crazy:

Kessling would probably resort to just calling them "nikki and chong".

Cheech apparently didn't make the cut. :cool2:

This guy is a monster at linebacker. Maybe we found our next Nick Reviz.

I played for Chattanooga Central in 1947-49 when Central was in the mix for state champ every year. They turned out lots of good player such as Lamar wheat and Bob McCoy, when I was there. The coach was hall of famer Red Etter and Stanley Farmer. Maybe this guy comes from the same stock.

Go big Orange!!!

Sounds like he will be a beast at 6'1" & 235 lbs. Wow, did everyone miss on this kid or what? And a walk-on...that means he wants to be at UT....solid dude. :dance2:

 

[volscb3]

I would rather have Vlad the Impaler XIII. ....but Nik will do.

That translates into 5'11" 215 in real life. Listed roster height and weight are often useless.
How many college players shrink 2 inches at the NFL combine?

This guy could be the Great White Beast or the Ukrainian Undertaker! Welcome to the Vols,Nikolay. Rip AJs(McCarron) head off for me. What you do down his neck is up to you! GO VOLS!

Don't underestimate the Ukrainian work ethic! :machgun:

 

[Burhead]

Sure he is a good guy but I never want to see another walk-on starting ever again.

So I guess that means D. Green about 5'10" about 185 and Lawson 6' and 230 and so on and so forth. Wow this is a small class this year.

 

[camp_steveo]

With a name like that he will probably end up playing for the bears.

I am stoked about another good LB at UT.

 

[CLCVol]

Sure he is a good guy but I never want to see another walk-on starting ever again.

I'm sure Clay Matthews and Santana Moss would have something to say about that.

 

[tomq_123]

Never f&%$ with mother f&%$ing Ukrainians.

 

[GrudenDooley]

Does he carry an AK-47?

Yeah just like all Americans carry AR-15's.
