Today On Rocky Top: Torrance Gibson Still Needs Some Work

From FanSided

"The late addition of five-star athlete Torrance Gibson (Fort Lauderdale, Fla. American Heritage) to the participants at the Elite 11 is one that could accelerate his development at quarterback or cement the belief that his future position is at wide receiver.The 6-4, 200-pound Gibson is the nation’s No. 16 overall recruit and the No. 1 ranked athlete, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, but he used to be the No. 1 ranked dual-threat quarterback recruit until the recruiting services made the switch as a result of the uncertainty regarding his future position.Some teams view Gibson as an athletic option that could thrive in the right college system with a little more polish. Others view Gibson as a future wide receiver. Adding to the intrigue is that Gibson is working with the coaches at the Elite 11 to refine his quarterback skills, but isn’t competing to win the event and will be a receiver in the 7-on-7 drills.Read more at FanSided"

"In order for Tennessee to reach its first bowl game since 2010, the Volunteers need several freshmen to make major contributions this season—starting with the first fall practice in August.The bad news is that the Vols have one of the youngest, most inexperienced rosters in the country, as noted by Patrick Brown of the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The good news is that the freshmen who enrolled between January and June of this year are some of the most talented players on the team.The 14 early enrollees who arrived on campus in January got the benefit of participating in winter workouts and spring practices and will be ready to hit the ground running in August. They also got a taste of playing at Neyland Stadium during the 2014 Orange and White Game.Read more at Bleacher Report"
