i played high school football 4 years on the varsity team as a starter. They moved me around all 4 years so i been over looked. Im at a 2 year school in GA. I run a 4.32 40 im 5'9 205 whats my chances if i walk on at tenneessee

Answer
Jarrell, hello!

Your chances sound great!  Tennessee would be a great school and memory.  You need to contact them immediately so they can give their dates, times, schedules.

After 4 years of ball, you already know what you have to do in order to get ready for a tryout.  You better have yourself conditioned.

With your size and speed,and having played so many positions, you could be of great value to any team.  I can't say that you were overlooked, however.  It appears that the team needed you to be versatile and that likely helped the team.  My men's baseball team just won our 3rd championship in 4 years this week.  We had so many men that moved around and were gifted enough to play most of the positions.  That's one of the reasons we're Champions.  So, I'd be willing to wager that you were a dependable player for your high school team!  It's men like you that make the team into Champions.


Have an incredible ride through your College years and never, ever quit.
