Best Linemen in Tennessee


Recommended Posts

Cliff Jones of MUS has seen his stock rise this summer after attending several prospect camps and posting good numbers. He's one of those sleeper types who might garner big time interest as the season progresses, much like Jared McGaha of Powell (eventually signed with Michigan State after late offers by Michigan, Louisville, and several others) a couple of years back.

What about the Leonard kid from Knox Halls? Was he not the co-lineman with University of Tennessee player Aaron Douglas (from Maryville) last year in Region 3-4a? I also remember seeing a write up at some point in time about him being on both all-state selections in 4a. Is he getting any looks anywhere?

 

 

Absolutely -- he's getting looks from Tennessee, Auburn, MTSU, Air Force Academy, Rutgers and others. He's the true sleeper with athleticism (he's an excellent wrestler too) with good speed and he's 6'4"/275.

Caleb Leonard was 1st team all state last year in 4A as a Junior.

 

He should dominate this fall.

 

He and his father have not been doing any self-promoting, but he is still getting looks.

 

Caleb Leonard was at Auburn last weekened and outran some rivals 4 star guys.

i was recently up at the big man challenge of champions up at powell high school. There was a lot of good teams there this year and it was tough competion, but one guy stood out to me the most.

i believe the young mans name was eric costner from heritage.

while not being the tallest guy in the world.

i saw him push 185 thirty one times on bench press.

then turn around and lead his team to first place on the five man sled.

this kid have some heads turning in blount county

Will Jackson from farragut is ranked in the top 20 in the country, and I dont know if you have seen him play but he can block half of the opponents players in one play. All state as a junior last year and has about 13 Division 1 offers. Any defensive lineman to go agaisnt him this year will probably crap their pants. Look for him to kill some people this year and hes already committed to Georgia Tech.

    • 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.
