1. The list would start with anyone that was an All-American.

 

2. Any player that was voted National Offensive or Defensive MVP

 

3. National player of the year

 

Plese omit any national polls that are not legitimate or were created by someone other than a national newspaper, magazine, or a wire service poll.

All are wonderful players but when looking at all-time greats none are even in the Top 200. Tennessee has produced roughly 325 NFL players and several others who were college football hall of famers.

 

Tate and Jennings are the greatest from Pope John Paul II HS and Ravenwood HS in the short period they have been in existence.

 

Gulmire was good but Stan Fritts, Shaun Bohannon, Dave Griffith, Shaun Summers, Bobby Richards and Mike Caldwell are just a few Oak Ridge alums who went on to successful D-1 and /or NFL careers.

 

Maples may be the best receiver Maryville has produced but I'm aware of at least four Maryville Rebels who ended up in the NFL and numerous other D-1 prospects over the years but he has potential to be a great player in college.

 

Coker has the Talent to be someone special if he stays healthy and may be the best player produced by Antioch. Anyone know someone else to add to the Antioch list?

 

I'm not familiar with Adam Becker. Who is he? Where's he from? Position?, etc?

Becker was an All-State linebacker from Ravenwood last year. He's playing Division I football somewhere, but I don't remember where. Thanks for reminding me of Thomas, I completely forgot about him. I wouldn't leave out LB Luke Steckel from Brentwood either.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
