Vols snag RB commitment
Posted: Monday May 05, 2008 06:00AM ET
Milton junior tailback Toney Williams spent the majority of his childhood in residing in Chattanooga. But that fact had little to do with his decision to commit to Tennessee on Saturday. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound Williams chose the Volunteers over scholarship offers from Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi State, N.C. State and Rutgers.

Makes sense. Reportedly this kid loved Tennessee. He's a big back too, which they really haven't had since Jamal Lewis.

We need someone to come and make the rushing offense improve. We haven't had a great running back since Travis Henry who is now on his third team in the NFL.

Report Offensive CommentAlso why not choose UT. The other schools are good but obviously UT gives him the best chance.

Report Offensive CommentI agree with you C Note. I actually forgot about Travis Henry.
Arian Foster isn't that bad but he's not in those guys' league.

Report Offensive CommentPlus he lived in Chattanooga which is Big Orange country. I went to HS in Chattannoga and UT was my second choice for college. As a matter of fact and came down to USC #1 and UT second. I can definitely see him going to UT.

Report Offensive CommentThey just aren't drawing the type of running backs that they used to. I remember when Cadillac Williams was committed to UT and then backed out after Rudi Johnson left Auburn. This will help but we need the top recruits to stay competitive in the SEC.

Report Offensive Commentits about time that we get a big back. Hope that 08 is a great year for us.
