True walk on, Tulsa transfer, and 2 three stars

[EastTNHunter]

Make up UGA's starting defensive secondary. I love seeing hard nosed, "non-blue chippers" excell.

They also have multiple true freshmen significantly contributing on defense of differing "star" ratings, including a mostly unheralded outside linebacker who forced out a veteran former high four star (who then transferred). Add in a true freshman starting QB, regular RB, and multiple receivers, it really does make you wonder when this will end up costing them a game or two due to nerves and inexperience.

Don't get too down on the Vols yet, as this will be the first SEC road trip for these guys, and 100,000 rowdy fans can be mighty intimidating.

Ha yes. I have respect for Colton Jumper. He started as a walk on. Hes now on scholarship and has played a ton of football. You can tell by watching him play that he does have high football IQ. Most every play he is right there. Sometimes he makes the play. His biggest problem IMO is hes not as strong or as physical as he needs to be to play SEC football. He cant get off blocks like he needs to and most times he cant make a 1 on 1 tackle. He slows the defender down long enough for back up to arrive but by then the ball carrier has picked up at least a few yards. I like the guys fight though.

I'm the last person to down a player, but he definitely has his limitations. He is good at jumping on the pile, though !

However, did you see the final play in the GT game? HE almost knocked our guy off of the QB on the game-saving tackle, and did interfere just enough to where the QB was able to get off the pass. Check it out !

Fast forward to the 1:30 mark. And notice how he jumps up celebrating not knowing that the QB had got the pass away :shock: !
