Coming from a football program that hasn’t done a lot of winning in recent years, Whitset will bring the college coaches to school regardless of the team’s success because this 6’5 pass blocker screams upside and the ability to protect the blind side on the next level. Those talents have been on full display thus far through summer camp season, where Whitset has landed offers from Toledo, UAB and Vanderbilt along with many others showing interest. The Bears junior O-lineman is a tall, long and athletic blocker that has plenty of room for growth and the ability to either handle left and right tackle or slide inside to guard. Whitset still has a ways to go before he fills out into the player he can be but college coaches have recognized the potential and are starting to get involved.
It’s been a long journey and off-season thus far for this Mid-Tennessee two-way talent and it all appears to be paying off as Kyne has put together strong camp performances and earned several offers, leading towards his stock rising and bigger schools getting involved. Just recently, Kyne has picked up offers from Tennessee St., Tennessee Tech, UVA-Wise and UT-Martin but it’s his list of interested schools that has me interested. Programs like Coastal Carolina, Memphis, MTSU, North Alabama, Rice, Vanderbilt and Yale have been sniffing around here of late, showing more interest and could be close to inviting him to campus for a visit or maybe even extend an offer. Kyne is a talented young man with tons of potential at either tight end or edge linebacker, so I can definitely understand why more schools are becoming more interested with this Cannon County product.
Highlights
This off-season has been very kind to this Mid-Tennessee linebacker as Marshall fully transitioned into his linebacker role and saw his recruitment explode. His stock has continued to rise this summer as the Patriots senior backer has obtained multiple offers after several strong camp performances. Still waiting on that first D1 opportunity to arrive, Marshall has recently landed offers from Eastern Illinois, Lindenwood and UT-Martin while picking up interest from several others. Part of the surge of interest and offers for Marshall is due to his size and natural athletic abilities that could play up at either inside or outside linebacker. Plenty of time is remaining for Marshall to hit the camp scene and keep earning offers but I think it will be his senior season that could take his stock to another level and bring in bigger offers.
Highlights
Sensabaugh has become a camp star over the past few weeks, especially recently as this 6’0 defensive back has landed big offers from the likes of Duke, N.C. State and Vanderbilt and many others have taken notice. Standing 6’0 with good length and the potential to play cover corner on the next level, Sensabaugh presents a lot of good physical traits that appeal to collegiate coaches. He has shown at camp this summer to play technique sound football while also displaying the speed needed to compete on Power Five gridiron. If Sensabaugh isn’t able to lock down a spot in college at cornerback, he is talented enough to switch over to nickel or safety and excel, so his value to the secondary is quite high. You can understand why college coaches are getting involved with this Ensworth defender and why his stock will continue to rise.
It’s been a breakout summer thus far for this Murfreesboro area safety who brings tons of great physical traits to the football field that will translate very well to the Power Five, D1 level. So far through the summer camp season, Taylor, Jr has picked up offers from Indiana, Marshall, Memphis, Western Michigan and Austin Peay while also adding interest from several power programs. Part of the reason for the explosion of offers is due to Taylor’s size, length and natural athletic abilities that will grow and develop further as he matures. He is also pretty fast, proving his speed multiple times at camps this summer. Taylor, Jr has loads of potential and upside that I feel will push Power Five programs to get involved, including some Blue Bloods that I see getting in the mix sooner than later.
