Farragut's Reveiz to be honored

Knoxville hall selects top high school athletes

 

 

Farragut's Nick Reveiz has capped hisr high school careerwith one of the city of Knoxville's highest honors.

Reveiz has been selected male High School Athlete of the Year, respectively, by the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

 

Reveiz has been at the heart of Farragut football's success the past two seasons in addition to dominating wrestling mats from Memphis to the Tri-Cities.

 

"Nick's a competitor and he loves challenges,'' Admirals football coach Eddie Courtney said. "In the four years we had him in football, he never missed a day of practice.

 

"He inspires those around him to raise their level of competition as well.''

 

Reveiz earned All-Region 2-5A football honors the past two seasons, and last year he was named All-KFL, All-Prep Xtra and All-State in Class 5A.

 

Additionally, Reveiz was named a Class 5A Mr. Football finalist.

 

On the mat, Reveiz captured his second state championship last season in addition to winning his second Region 2 and KIL championships en route to All-Prep Xtra honors once again.

 

Reveiz plans to walk on and play football at Tennessee, where he hopes to contribute on the Vols' special-teams units immediately.

I hope he is an invited walk-on, and hope that Fulmer realizes the talent and heart the Reveiz kid has. Congrats on a great high school career and good luck in college!!

Invited walk-on and preferred walk-on are both way overused and meaningless phrases. If a school recruits you to play football and they don't offer you a scholarship, they will at least invite you to walk on 95% of the time. I was invited to walk on many places, places I knew I had the ability to play on scholarship, but they had no money and I didn't have the statistics. To the team and the program, yes walk-ons are important, but there being a "preferred" or "invited" walk-on does not change your status.

 

Now, saying that, I think Nick is a much better player than alot of the other walk-ons and I think he's going to get a great chance there. Could he have played on scholarship elsewhere? Yeah. But I think UT will be good to him.

there actually is a difference between being a preferred walk-on and just a regular walk-on. ncaa div. 1 teams are only allowed to invite 105 players to camp. obviously, the 80-sum scholarship players are invited leaving roughly 20 walk-ons that are invited to fall camp. about 3 or 4 weeks later after camp the rest of the walk-ons are allowed to practice with the team. getting invited to camp as a walk-on makes you a 'preferred walk-on'.

 

reveiz was also named the first ever player of the month on ryans locker room. there is a interview with him here http://www.ryanslockerroom.com

    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen. 
    • I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
