    I disagree. It's players taking responsibility for the well being of the program.

    This. I’ll be keeping an eye on this kid. I bet he plays before it’s over with. Sounds like a dude who gives a shit.

    That's not the job of a freshman walk-on.

    It's the job of everybody on the roster.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he earns a scholarship

    Jeremy Pruitt will have failed at UT if this kid ever sees the field.

    I don’t see the point of running your mouth on Twitter. Be a leader in the locker room and the practice field. Twitter theatrics, such as calling your own teammates out on Twitter, is useless and immature. It’s something I would do.

    I think that's insane.

    Freshman don't police seniors. That's exactly backwards. And if every walk-on scrub has license to deride the the guys who actually contribute, that isn't "taking responsibility for the well-being of the program," it's opening up a [itch bay]fest.

    Sports is a meritocracy. And while I may not think much of some of the upperclassman starters, they have more merit than Frosh walk-on.

    Eric Berry did it his first game. I realize this kid is no Eric Berry, but neither is anyone else on the roster.

    Will an upperclassman correct him? I am guessing not, which kind of makes a circle of this.

    Again...meritocracy.

    It’s like Jeremy Banks, I love his energy and attitude, but you can’t run your mouth when you’ve fumbled 3 times with limited carries.

    With that being said, I hope he’s a starting linebacker next season and grows into the leader of the team. The Daniel Bituli/Al Wilson comparisons this preseason are embarrassing.

    Meh. The guys that play just got their lunch money taken by Vanderbilt. They don’t have a lot of merit.

    I don't think he's talking shit to anyone that played with the exception of one or two.

    If his mouth running results in two personal fouls against the opposing team, he shouldn't shut up

    Shamburger, Richmond, Sapp (who barely played), maybe DK jr.

    Focus on holding on to the ball, then run your mouth.

    DKjr is respected, his body failed him, same as Chance Hall.

    He's a linebacker now

    That was one of the most beautiful things I saw this whole season.

    Yep, work on your game, earn a starting spot, run your mouth.
