Chris Smith October 14, 2021 @ 07:49 AM

While last week might have been lite with games, we still had several prospects put forth strong performances and earn a spot in this article, including several who have been here before. East Tennessee ‘24 (QB) Josh Keith - Clinton …#EastTN24 * 24-32 passing for 371 yds & 2 TD's; 8 carr. for 50 yds & 1 TD * - Keith is quickly becoming a breakout star for his 2024 class, especially with performances like this. The Dragons stud sophomore was given the keys to the offense this season and has run with it, making it his own and displaying a variety of skills from behind center. Expect many more big performances like this from Keith over the coming years. Middle Tennessee '23 (DE) Nathan Robinson Nathan Robinson 6'5" | 245 lbs | DL Greenbrier | 2023 State TN - Greenbrier …#MidTN23 * 13 total tcks, 6 TFL, 6 sacks, 4 FF, 4 FR & 1 Def. TD * - Absolute domination put forth by Robinson in last week's win over Creek Wood. He was a force that the opposition could not control, stop or slow down. Robinson was a one man wrecking against the Red Hawks and put together yet another strong game that has college coaches opening their eyes. West Tennessee ‘23 (RB) Ahmad Miller Ahmad Miller 6'0" | 205 lbs | RB Whitehaven | 2023 State TN - Briarcrest Chrst. …#WestTN23 * 19 carr. for 133 yds & 1 TD * - West Tennessee was bare with games last week but the Saints of Briarcrest and Miller took advantage of playing and put forth a strong game and a victory. Miller is a little less than 300 yards away from 1,000 on the season and is slowly but surely increasing his recruiting attention.
