Congratulations to ALL of the young men listed above from every school.

 

I want to give an extra special 'kudos' to the 10 young men listed above from Whitehaven. You young men had a very good season. You've helped to establish a high standard in the program that is to be followed by the underclassmen who follow in your footsteps. Those who have watched you put in the work both during the off-season and also during the actual season as it unfolded. It is a wonderful thing to see you get an opportunity to play on Saturdays while getting your post high school education paid for by someone else besides your parents. Take advantage of every opportunity that avails itself to you on your journey. You've all represented 'The Haven' with class and dignity. Once a Tiger ... always a Tiger!

 

P.S.

 

I think Tennessee State is getting TWO steals in Michael Perry III and Chris Rowland from Ravenwood. Both are SEC caliber in my opinion.

Man ... I'm sitting here re-reading this and marveling at all four senior starting DB's in Donte, Rodney Jr., Rashun, and Kerrick all getting scholly's. Man ... that's huge! That defense was special. Tae Tae and Ced Jr. both getting scholly's as well. The senior LB's. Then big Mike Perry and Delvin. I knew they were going to be playing on Saturdays. I have to admit that Jalen Burks and Aaron Thompson both surprised me. I was hoping that Jamcole Banks, Adam Balkin, Myles Sails and Barshay Wilson would have gotten scholly's as well. Heck, to get 10 players an opportunity to sign LOI's is a significant accomplishment! Kudos to everyone who put in the work assisting these young men in attaining those scholarship offers.

This is what it's all about! Much bigger than just football! Hopefully these life lessons from the field will lead these young men to be good productive citizens in society! Congrats to all the TN players that signed! Respect the Haven!

We need to add the QB to the list of 2015 football players to receive scholly's. QB, Darrion Cole, signed a LOI to play at Lincoln University according Darrion's and the Whitehaven Twitter feeds respectively. Congrats to young Mr. Cole.

 

That brings the total up to 11 young men off of this 2015 roster. Fantastic!

I'm loving this Whitehaven Football Twitter feed.

 

I see where J'Len Smith has already been to Miss State on an unofficial. Then I see where he, Jabbar Wilson, and Aubrey Miller all went to the U of M on an unofficial. Then I also see where Deniro Tillman, Tyrone Cason, Kylan Watkins, and big William Whitfield all went up to Western Kentucky.

 

Exposure, exposure, exposure!

 

Keep'em coming Whitehaven football ... keep'em coming!

I see where Aubrey Miller got an offer from coach Norvell at the U of M on his visit. I think it is the first of many to come for him. He's got the size, athleticism, tenacity, and most importantly, the intellect to play the LB position extremely well on the next level. He's just an animal!

 

Great offer at U of M ... great offer!

 

Keep'em coming @ Whitehaven football twitter feed!

    • 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.
