How so?

First he averaged 17+ yards per catch in 2020 and 2021. Not quite Javonta's 22.9 average, but similar impact.

It looks like Heupel used him the same way he used Javonta.

As far as why I say he's Javonta Payton DELUXE. He's close to as fast, shorter yes, but looks physically stronger, better route runner, and a more dynamic athlete. Easy to tell that from his game film. I watched that highlight and his game against Boise State last year.

He was also incredibly productive in Heupel's offense. 979 yards 6 touchdowns in 10 games in 2020 is pretty darned good. Far more productive than Payton was coming in here last year.

He will duplicate what Javonta Payton did and then some.

There's a reason schools like Ole Miss and UGA are after him.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully if he comes here he can stay healthier than Payton did.

So his choice is 1,000 yards at UT or 500 at UGA Catching for 3 different QBs. Choices, Choices…

Where is he getting 1000 yards? Does he assassinate Tillman, McCoy and Hyatt? He'd be lucky to be the 4th WR here.

Not saying we don't want just saying he's a depth guy.

He’s already proven that he’s better in the slot than Hyatt has been. And no one knows if Bru is going to be what we think he can be or not. Taking a WR that Heupel knows well and who has produced very good numbers in college already makes total sense. If we have a competition in the slot between Hyatt, Robinson, Holiday, Calloway and Squirrel, we’re going to get the very best guy for that job

I'm not arguing this young man's talent, but I think it fair to ask if we really need another WR? With the addition of Bru, I think that puts us around 11 scholarship WRs.

But whatever the coaches decide, I'll ride with it. And if this kid's a Vol, I hope he puts up huge numbers.

I don't think Hyatt's name is written in Sharpie as a starter. I think this guy would battle with Hyatt for the 3rd spot, provide depth, and give us some interesting options in a 4 WR set.

Gotta plan ahead these days now with the transfer portal 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think the defense needs more help, I'm just not sure there is anyone in the portal that gives us this help. If we have additional roster spots for this year, it might be a good idea to go best available.

We really desperately need help at corner and lb.

Underline, emboldened, capitalized.

When JPayton was injured we ran at a deficit the rest of the season seemingly with VJones and CTillman carrying the load.
Quality depth is needed over just depth and this guy might be the answer.
Depth guys will watch and become starters or hit the portal.
