They're working in state very hard already. It's said to be the best year ever for D1 players in the state.

Ron, I watched the scrimmage against DB last year and I don't remember this kid standing out. I had been reading on some of the Vol boards that this was imminent. Do you think he is a legitimate D1 Receiver?

I thought Tyler would be good. But! He was better than I thought he would ever be.

Tyler Maples is close to 6'2 175lbs. He runs a legit 4.47
He has very good moves. He is very elusive. He scored 25 touchdowns by receiving,intercepion returns,punt returns and kickoff returns. That picture of him above is him taking a slant 25 yards to the house against a very fast Alcoa team.

Tyler needs to get stronger though. He will need a redshirt year.

**Rocky** · February 11th, 2006, 02:50 AM

yeah he definitely needs to gain some weight, how bad do you think that would affect his speed?

**Ironlung** · February 11th, 2006, 12:34 PM

Probably ND or UT.

UT has offered several local kids from the Knoxville area.

Harrison Smith Catholic
Rae Sykes Alcoa
Kyrus Lankster Alcoa He is #4 in pic above
Anthony Anderson Austin East

Sykes is a 6'4 defensive end. He is very good. Not as good as Warren but pretty darn good.

Lankster is a speedy receiver.

Anderson is a kid that can fly. He will probably play secondary in college.

Harrison Smith could be one heck of a strong safety. I compare him to the Notre Dame Strong Safety last year. Harrison is 6'2 215lbs.

From what I hear about Maples the UT Coaching Staff wants him as a free safety.
