    Pretty cool story on how he ended up at Tennessee as an invited walk-on

    He was a little bit of everything for his high school, was getting offers from lower tier FBS schools, committed to Georgia Southern then hurt his arm. He strained a nerve, pretty much making the arm useless.

    He had all of his offers pulled, then, right before surgery to repair the nerve, it started working again. He was able to add weight back and got a scholarship offer from Louisiana Tech and invited walk on offers from Miami, Auburn and Tennessee. He came to Knoxville, passed a physical and expects to be cleared for contact in mid September.

    Good story, hopefully he stays healthy and earns a scholarship

    It's amazing that he has the guts to even play after something like that
