Highly touted safety Darren Myles Jr. signed with Tennessee on Wednesday.
Myles, 6-foot-1, 175-pounder from Carver High School in Atlanta, chose the Vols over LSU and Alabama.
"I want to be a part of that rebuilding (at UT)," Myles said during a live interview on ESPNU, after tossing aside an LSU cap and donning a UT one.
Myles, whose father played at Purdue, had some bold words when asked what fans should expect next season.
"Freshman All-American," Myles told ESPN.

Dang...this is your first good news of the day and some of you are whinning. Myles is a very good pick up.....this guy can play. He has football in his blood...much like Eric Berry. I would have liked to see him at Georgia.
One thing about Marlon Brown, if he does commit to OSU as spectculated, at least Georgia or UT fans would not have to worry about getting burned by him on fall Saturdays.

Have you ever thought that some of these recruits look on here some times for reaction of us Tennessee fans. I don't think he would like what your saying.... its better than nothing.
volsfan1076 writes:
You don't know a thing about this kid. Obviously Monte Kiffin thought pretty highly of him because I believe this was the 1st recruit he called. If you are gonna be a jerk and run down a kid that has commited then don't post anything at all.

He is FLA all the way
RJ_Vol writes:
Ignore the troll...This is great news!!! Myles is an absolutely huge talent. Berry and Myles in the same secondary ought to be awesome. The safety position is huge, just look at Major Wright's impact at UF. I'm sure that Myles will work well in the Tampa 2. It speaks volumes that Kiffin could get a kid this late in the game.

Henry County athlete Marsalis Teague has signed with Tennessee, a source told the News Sentinel.

Since Vince Young is so great what has he done in the NFL? Did he start this year? Oh wait a minute, he asked to be taken out of the 1st game because he got booed! Then he lost his job to Kerry Collins! What was Vince's wonderlific score, wasn't it a 6? Super Bowl rings for Vince Young = 0. Super Bowl rings for Peyton Manning = 1.

Young is a true quarterback "bust". No injury to blame for his lack of success either. He's a great athlete and was able to surround himself in college with great players (and "he" didn't beat anyone, his team did)and was able to hide his now obvious defiencies. Have you not watched his pitiful performances with the Titans??? Just face it, Young is a fraud at quarterback. Move him to WR. GO VOLS!

Whoa....Easy there!! Exactly what has all this VY garabge got to do with VOL recruiting?? Don't hate the man---But, in truth, VY has not proven himself in the pro ranks. Had a miserable season this past year. Let's see what '09 brings before you spew too much more hateful venom on this site yourself.
As a Titans fan, I hope he makes all-pro and leads the Titans to the Super bowl. Now back to important stuff--VOLS recruiting.

haha Vince Young is a joke.
If it wasnt for chris johnson you all would have been 8-8 at best.
cainclifton23 writes:
And Darren Myles is a freak.
just because rivals says he runs a 4.5 doesnt mean thats completley true.
walt23tn writes:
I'm glad we got this kid. Our defense is going to continue to be our bright spot because of guys like this. Anybody in TN referring to Vince Young???? after this year??? doesn't deserve a reply people. He obviously has the a football i.q. the size of VY's football shoes, so why give him the time?

You out there TommyJack?
What's your take on everything today so far?

You sure don't sound like a Vol fan.

Welcome to Knoxville, Mr. Myles! Glad you picked the Vols. We're looking forward to seeing you make a lot of great plays!

He's the great Safety we really wanted anyway.
He fits Kiffy's system.
He isn't afraid of the competition at UT.
volsfan1076 writes:
VY10_Titans is about the dumbest person I've ever come across. Arguing with him is like arguing with a tree. Oh and Vince Young's wonderlific score WAS a 6 NOT a 16. If Vince Young is so good why didn't he win the Heisman? He is far from the best college football player ever.

Anyone who would use as their handle the initials and number of the sociopathic loser, Vince Young, cannot be taken seriously. Go cruise the Texas message boards, sport.
volsfan1076 writes:
You are a Titans fan? That is funny because someone with your screen name posted on the Titans page on cbssportsline a couple weeks ago that they are done with the Titans since Vince Young is going to be riding the bench again next year. Do us a favor and go root for the Texans.
PEYTONFORHEISMAN1997 writes:
You sound like an ignorant peice that just goes on this site to raise havoc with vol fans and probably have never played football before. 40 times number 1 are an inaccurate measure to prove a kids ability and usually arn't timed accurately, number 2 you have to believe that with the 200k strengthth coach we hired and monte that these players will get bigger, faster and stronger not to mention they will be coached up by a legend. Get your facts straight and watch the players play before you start saying this is a bad class. And that goes to everyone thats a vols fan. Stars don't mean anything if you don't develop your players. As you can see with the Philip Fulmer Staff

Berry and Myles linned up together. Better not throw over 10 yards or its going the other way to the house! "Freshman All-American" I like the sound of that.

Maybe watching Red Raider signings.

You are a moron. It was you that first compared Peyton with your cry baby Vince Young, oh.... VY as you like to call him. Anyway, he's a fraud (like you) and everyone who watches the Titans know it and he will NEVER be a successful NFL quarterback. VY should stand for veritable yo-yo, and you two are perfect for each other. GO VOLS!

OK, Berry we have 2009 and 2010 if he doesn't go pro early, then what? think of the future man. days not over.
