I would say seth johnson, its hard to compete with his 4.28 speed, plus being 6'2 220 also helps

 

If this kid runs a legit 4.28 then I run about a 4.00!! Come on man the kid might be fast, but don't exaggerate on his speed. I consider myself pretty fast, but I wouldn't even lie and say that I ran a 4.2 forty!! :P

Alcoa06-Wesley Smith has got stuff from an SEC school in Kentucky and anouther top notch team Louisville. I would say Smith will got to one of the two. Wesley Smith has had at least 100 yrds every game this year except for one and he had 62 yrds, and keep in mind he has hard competition inlike most other backs in east tn. He is also leading prepxtra in rushing. So Wesley Smith has to be one of the best in East Tn if not TN.

Daniel Boone's Sky Hicks now has 1291 yards in 8 games so far, for an average of 162 yards per game. Not too bad. Maybe the competition in NE TN is not as tough as some other places (there are a few ranked teams up here), but consider that when a game gets out of hand, these guys are the first ones to get pulled when the coach calls off the dogs, so the number of carries gets limited sometimes.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
