Vols Pursuing JUCO RB Tyreek Hill

The Vols are pursuing JUCO RB, Tyreek Hill with the plan to play him in the slot, where he can run and catch the ball in Butch Jones's offense.

Hill is orginally from Douglass, GA and runs the 100 and 200 on the track team. On May 26, 2012, at the 36th Golden South Classic in Orlando, Florida, Hill ran new personal bests in the 100 m (10.19) and 200 m (20.14).[3] His time in the 200 m missed Roy Martin's 1985 national high school record by only one hundredth of a second. As of May 2012[update], it is the fastest time by a junior athlete in the 2012 season, and in fact the fastest by a junior since Ramil Guliyev's 20.04 in 2009. His time in the 100 m ties Abraham Hall for second fastest by a junior in the 2012 season, behind only Adam Gemili.

He was a USA Today All-American track and field selection in 2012.[4]

"Tennessee is a good school," Hill said. "I feel like I could go in and help right away. They want me to play slot, and I feel like my game is versatile enough to do things in the backfield and in the slot. They have started to recruit me harder, and I want to take a closer look at them."

"I feel like I make things happen with the ball in my hands," Hill said. "I'm also a good blocker, and I play physical for my size. People say I'm small, but I think I'm shifty. I have the power to run tough, but I also can get around people with my speed."

"Academics are important to me," Hill said. "My parents are always pushing school and it's started to rub off on me. I also want a school that has a good track program because I'd like to do both at the school I choose. I feel like I can contribute as a sprinter." "I feel like track helps with my football speed," Hill said. "In return, I think football helps me focus coming out of the blocks like I'm coming out of my route. I know Tennessee has a good track program and has some history in that area."

"I think I'll probably do it sometime in the middle of my season," Hill said. "I'll lean on my parents and grandparents to help me with my decision. I want them to know I'm safe at my next school and be comfortable with where I'm at."
