Tyler Baron (UT Transfer, top 150 class of 2020)

Would be a nice addition. Wonder why he hit the portal so late? Start of Spring semester coming fast.
From what I understand ever since they fired his father at UT he’s been a possible transfer. Not sure why it took so long but hope we get him. Would be a great addition

Would his arrival lead to a post-spring ball transfer of Anaele? Who was backing up Rybka? Anyone? TIA.
 
Wasn’t he one of the UT players clowning on the UK logo at the end of the game this year?
 
That looks lke a Jack LBer to me....get it done. And run down UT a bit in the process :)

I htink Baron looks like a Jack more than a DE....but who cares.
With all due respect K, don't think Baron has the quicks needed for Jack. Looks like hand in the dirt DE to me. Rybka/Anaele will be more than adequate replacement for Paschal, Rybka has a very bright future.

Anybody know where Baron's stepfather has surfaced? Hell, let's bring him in as an "analyst."

It's 176 miles to Knoxville, I've got a full bag of Fritos, half a bowl of ramen noodles, its snowy, and I'm wearing sunglasses.

If he can be an edge rusher bring him on . But I’ve read he doesn’t have the twitch for that . If not , he needs to be head & shoulders above some of our young guys and I’m not sure he is . We’ve got some young studs coming on and I’d hate to lose them to the portal before they have a chance to develop. I trust the coaches to decide.
 
The strong rumor in Feb of 2000 is that he wanted to wear Blue.

Do you even know what number he wore at UT?

You gotta link/film?

Well yes he wore #9. It was posted on this board Link

Pretty sure that is him doing snow angels at the end and the last guy to leave. Doesn’t bother me; it just struck me as odd at the time since he was close to coming here. Now it strikes me as odd again since he might actually be coming here.
 
It's almost like he only went there because his dad was getting paid. /s
Not true. He was greeted by the McDonald Bag man too, most likely. UT did whatever it took to keep him out of Lexington.

Now their fans claim he is a NPA because their coaching staff has no clue how to develop defensive players.

Kid knows where he SHOULD have signed, if he wanted to improve his game.
 
It’s weird that he’s not announced anything yet. Rumors are that UT has put together an NIL to keep him in Knoxville.

Just another NPA kid you guys are involved with.

Believe it’s a shot calling Baron a non performing asset lol

Ok so you guys beat us this past season…. I’ll own it. But your defense was trash all year and Barron looked like one of your better players on that side of the ball. I’ll gladly take him.


I guess it depends on how one defines NPA...

As a TRUE Soph, he was such a slacker for the UT defense
- 4th in sacks behind a RS SR (DT) and 2 RS JRs (LBs)
- 5th in TFLs behind those same 3 guys and True JR LB
- So... he's just the leading producer at the EDGE position (not sure if he's a 3-4 OLB or a 4-3 DE)

Yep, a complete non-performer, which begs the question...

If he's a NPA, what does that make the rest of the DL...particular at the EDGE position?

NPA is national playmaker academy in Nashville. It’s where the Wade Twins and Brown train at.

Thanks for clarifying. Otherwise, it sounded like a HUGE dose of sour grapes/denial by a Vols fan (which there will be some of that, too, if he does transfer to UK...but if we're being honest, there are always some fans who do that with transfers)
