Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker break down the major recruiting successes for Tennessee Football over the weekend. Off the Hook Sports’ Monday, July 29 podcast also covers the discipline issues facing the Georgia Bulldogs with T. Scott Jones and Mike Griffith while looking at New England Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III and Vols elite seniors.
Two 2025 prospects pick Tennessee Football
In one of the biggest recruiting weekends of recent memory, Tennessee Football beat out the UGA Bulldogs Saturday for four-star Georgia safety Lagonza Hayward. One day later, they flipped Oregon Ducks tight end Da’Saahn Brame, another four-star. Both are in the 2025 class. Which one was bigger for the Vols?
Josh Heupel pushes Tennessee Football class into top five
With the two pickups over the weekend, Tennessee Football now has the No. 5 ranked 247Sports Composite recruiting class. The Vols also are in the top two for four-star cornerback Onis Konanbanny, they are the favorites to land five-star offensive lineman David Sanders Jr. and they could land elite 2026 quarterback Faizon Brandon. Does Josh Heupel have a dynasty brewing?
Mike Griffith discusses Kirby Smart, Georgia
Are the Georgia Bulldogs slipping as a program under Kirby Smart? They had another major arrest over the weekend, calling into question their culture, and they are losing recruits to the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Vols. Could this be a sign of worse things to come? Off the Hook Sports welcomes Mike Griffith of Dawg Nation to break it down.
Top five Tennessee Football seniors
With a few exceptions where there are new starters, Tennessee Football is a heavy senior-laden team this year, which should give the Vols a huge advantage in their pursuit of a national championship. Who are the most important seniors on this year’s team? Is it their skill or their leadership that will make them key long-term?
Joe Milton III wowing New England Patriots
Former Tennessee Football quarterback Joe Milton III is impressing the Pats with his arm strength and athleticism in training camp. Is this a sign of things to come, or is it par for the course with Milton given how much he impressed coaches and media experts in practice on Rocky Top? Will he always fool teams at every level?
T. Scott Jones talks Georgia arrest
Over the weekend, Georgia wide receiver Rara Thomas was arrested on cruelty to children and battery charges. This is more significant than any of the recent traffic incidents they had. How serious is it? What type of punishment should Smart levy on him as a result? Could Thomas’ future be ruined with this move? Attorney T. Scott Jones joins to discuss.
