Tennessee Super 44 Prospects

[Ntheknow2]

are these guys from tennessee? because ive never heard of them, and to get such offers i doubt they are from TN. I could just be wrong though..

My question is, are you from TN, because if you don't know who Powell High School's Jared McGaha (6'7, 265) and John Bruhin (6'5, 290) are then I guess you will soon find out.

 

In addition to having those D-1 offers on the table, Jared McGaha was chosen by ESPN analyst Tom Lemming as a top prospect in the state and met with him in April along with others from this list who he considers to be the top prospects in the state and yes, the McCallie QB is missing. John Bruhin is one of the top defensive linemen in the state.

 

Quite frankly, I'm a little surprised someone who is putting out a Vandy preview would be unaware of these two especially since Vandy has expressed a lot of interest in Jared McGaha.

 

It's not that I doubt any of the guys listed deserve the attention or that the person putting together the preview has done the work. But what's even more strange is the fact that no one else other than Tyler Maples on the list is from the region of the reigning state champions, Maryville.

 

Just my thoughts.

I'm sorry, but the best DL in the state is Rae Sykes. He's a national top 100 player, . He's been offered by UT, Florida St., Notre Dame, LSU, Ole Miss, Florida, Michigan, Clemson, and NC St. just to name a few.

how about trace mcdermott from mcminn county. had a dominating jr year in a very strong 5-A region

[tnvols89]

nice list and i coulda mist them but what about the fb from powell, bell from jefferson county, the other kid from carter, and alcoas rb

[HSsportsfootball]

Yes, they are from Powell High in Knox County.

 

Why do you doubt that a player from Tennessee could get that kind of attention?

 

Powell High School has had players sign with Alabama, Tennessee, Marshall, and Purdue, among others in the last two signing years.

 

That came off wrong, I just figured that they wasn't from TN because they had some really good offers, but I haven't heard of neither. I guess I will soon find out though won't I?

I don't know what you're basing your selection criteria on, but in the Football Time In Tennessee book there is a ery good listing of the state's top prospects. I figure if a kid's good enough to be in that mag, he's good enough to be on almost any list.

 

Terrence Holt - Maplewood is on your list, but not Thomas Majors - LB, Sadaris Jones - LB, Jonathan Moore - WR, and Brandon Buggs - DE.

 

Maplewood had five players make this list and they are being actively recruited by UT.

These are also just senior prospects right? Because I don't see any Region 4-5A kids on here and I believe that is the toughest region in 5A, but they also have a lot of underclassmen.

Hi, this is Don Yates from VandyMania.com again. I asked a while back for the top 50 prep football prospects in Tennessee (these guys would be seniors for the 2006 season). I got a lot of input from you guys and used a lot of the folks you nominated. Here is my Super 44 Tennessee team as it stands now. Do you guys see any glaring errors or missing super stars? I appreciate your input. These guys will be listed in our 2006 Vanderbilt Football Preview mag which will be going to the printers soon. Please, lets not get into smack talk with one another.
