Actually Charles McCrae was not very good in high school. He would not have even been on my top 100 list. It was his 6'8" frame that coach Fulmer liked. It took the UT staff to get him what he was. Although if you ask him about Nuclear genetics he might be at the top of the class. Great guy as well.

One of the best linebackers was Desmond Scantling from Bearden

Mikal Smith (Lovie Smith's Son) was one of the best overall athletes

Todd Helton, was a heck of a high school Quarterback, probably better than Pennington in high school

Jason McAdley and Mike Gibson from Oak Ridge at Wide Receiver

Linemen, Bruce Wilkerson Tyson Claybo Darren Rothenberg

One of the best high school tailbacks Leroy Thompson

I know I have left so many off the list. It depends on if the athlete fits into the model that his high school is running. Pennington was running the wing T at webb. And we all see how he did when he got in a program that showcased his talents.

Pound for Pound the toughest football player I ever seen was Matt Blankenship of Maryville. He was 5'8 190lbs and would tear your head off. I remember him having 25 tackles vs Knox Halls in 1993.

Although Dustin Moore was a talent at TE for UT, he was a TB at Greenville. Good call on Spradlin and Davis. Blankenship was a tough player.

David Satterfield was the linebacker alongside Todd Collins. David was a hardnose player with 5.0 speed but during the game he was 4.7, he was a gamer. He was crowd favorite at Jeff County and went on to play a couple years at App State.

Thanks. Has any other school ever had a LB tandem like the Pats when they had those guys? Besides LT and Carson of the Giants in the 80's.

Talkin about pound for pound, what about #22 for Maryville in maybe 96-97. Tough as nails and a gamer. Played wideout. Made big catches for them in the Halls game and couldn't have been more than 5-6. Only Maryville game I saw in 97 was against Halls and I think he caught a fourth and about 20 in the 4th. Drug one foot to keep the drive alive, a great play on any level. He played DB too. Anyone know his name?

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
