Pic of Tyler Maples

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.

rebelron...while you're here....Harrison Smith, make him become a Hokie, im sure you know who he is...i think dude is beast on the next level...too bad he lives in Knoxhole or we might have a shot at him [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

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

Probably ND or UT.

who asked you [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

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.

Smith is my favorite player so far in the class of 07
