Chris McCord

[MRedRebels]

If you had to guess what college Chris is going to go to, to play football, where do you think he would go? I would have to guess Carson-Newman. Maybe Maryville College?

 

 

 

 

 

ROLL REBS ROLL

2004: The year of the Rebels!

yeah i would say carson newman would be a good assesment, or possbily tennessee tech

[alan]

i try to keep up with maryville and the last that i heard was that McCord was headin to Carson-Newman

[MaryvilleRebels]

I don't think I can see him going anywhere but Maryville College. Tennessee Tech...definitely not. Carson Newman...maybe, but then again, I think that Powell's running back last year was better than McCord and Powell's RB went to CN. I dunno, I just don't think that McCord is much of a college back.

Derek Milligan is at Carson-Newman. He had moved up the depth chart in pre-season to number two, and then pulled a hammie right before the first game. The decision was made when he was healthy about mid-way in to the season to redshirt him.

 

Word is that Milligan is going to get a look at quarterback for the Eagles. He played quarterback as a junior at Powell, and has the ability and smarts to be a good veer/option quarterback.

 

I am also hearing that Corey Booker really likes Ken Sparks and could end up at Carson-Newman.

mccord is not much of a d1 back. I think he is a great d2 back though. He is tough, great runner, finds the open lanes, and is always looking for a cutback. Plush he is a strong worker in the weightroom. I think whatever college does get him, they will be getting a steal.....go rebs

I really like Chris and he has been fun to watch, but I haven't heard if anyone is talking to him. What is the word. I don't think CN would be intrested.

[MaryvilleRebels]

In high school he is able to do the cutbacks and he is quick, but when he steps up to D2, he will only be average and he won't have the advantage of speed anymore. He is a great guy and a good high school back, but I don't see a D2 college calling. I could be wrong though!

[CoachDG]

I have coached against Chris and he is a great talent and seems to have a great work ethic. As a former Fighting Scot, I would love to see Chris bring that to Maryville College. With the new coach and new direction, Chris can be an impact player.

[chscat]

I would agree that McCord is a great high school running back, but his best bet for college would probably be at Maryville College. They have a new coach, and a young team that is going to get better. I don't think that Carson Newman is an option. I don't think that Milligan will ever play as a running back at CN either. His best bet is to move to qb.

 

I think that Chris has alot of talent, but like others said, he would be average at best at a DII school.

[HTV]

CHSCat - Ken Sparks doesn't agree with you. Milligan was up to #2 when he got hurt in August. If he doesn't move to QB he is going to stay at the RB slot.

[medman]

I would think with his work ethic, that he could play another position if a DII coach doesn't think he is big or fast enough to play running back. He might be able to play on D, maybe a safety, or how about a slot reciever? Just some thoughts. You always hope these type of kids get a chance to show what they can do.
