You have got to put Malik McGue of Science Hill in this thread.  Probably not a QB at the next level, but as far as high school QBs go he has to be one of the best in the state.  Ask the folks at Brentwood Academy if the kid can play - I think Science Hill put up 600 + total yards which may have been a record against Brentwood.

I think Jennings said he will play quarterback at Tennessee and nothing else. If Butch has planned for him to be corner or defensive back he wont be pleased.

 I saw the article in the paper where he said that but you cant find anyone in Knoxville that will confirm his wishes. He's a good player and I know he might be given a chance in spring practice to make his point but Butch is still actively seeking other QBs which speaks volumes...

Yeah it's better to be a 1st or 2nd string corner or db than to be a 4th or 5th string quarterback.

If Tennessee continues to run the same read option offense, then Jennings should be in the mix to play QB at Tennessee. Dobbs and Jennings fit the offense best. If they can accurately throw the ball, I think they both will be competing for the spot.

 

I think an underestimated aspect of Jennings is his ability to find a way to win. He has demonstrated this in both basketball and football numerous times.

Well, If your talking about a total team player QB Jennings is one of the best but if your looking at the stats he doesnt even rank in the top 25 in passing in 6A. He's actually not even in the the top 3 in his own district. Rumor has it that he will not be playing QB at UT but was recruited as a safety or DB. I guess only time will tell.

He will not have to wait very long to start at QB for the Vols, he is that special of a player!!!!

But there are also others waiting. Justin King out of Dunwoody Ga  also signed. He's 6'3" and 215 lbs and is ranked high on unapproved website....Also Theres a kid out of California that's ranked very highly who leaning to UT. There will be a fight for QB at UT next year or a lot of red shirts..

This is true, ideally unless you have Russell Wilson, or Drew Brees type athleticism, then D1 QB's are usually 6'2 plus and over 190. Typically that's what they look for not saying he couldn't do it though.

    • 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.
