Can he take snaps at center? Not sure how we are at LB but I know we need help at C and DB, not sure SF would take a guy just to take a guy.

Excellent LB - had some injuries as a Vol.

Safe to say he won't.

My impression from the forum is that we are pretty good at LB, we already had a guy transfer out at that position. My uneducated guess is that we won't be looking at this guy.

If a player that can improve your roster is available and you have scholarships available, I think you have to take that player. Don't know if that applies in this case or not!

I saw where he was a top 200 player out of HS

Our LB room is pretty full and not in need of a one year transfer.

FWIW, I believe he would be able to play 2 years.

Think he's staying put after a meeting with the coach this weekend.

You are correct sir. He is staying with the Vols.

On Tuesday, Vols first-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt confirmed that Kirkland had decided to remain in Knoxville, telling reporters in Destin, Fla., at the SEC Spring Meetings “he wants to finish what he’s started.”
