John Brown might have been a bust at Florida, but he's going to get another shot in the SEC.
And he'll also get a chance to face the Gators.
Brown, rated the No. 3 defensive tackle prospect in the country by Scouts Inc. when he signed with Florida in 2007, has committed to Tennessee and will have two years to play for the Vols starting in 2010 after finishing up course work at Northeast Mississippi Community College.
The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Brown never played a down for the Gators after coming to them out of Lakeland, Fla., as a big-time recruit. He started practice late in 2007 after waiting to be cleared academically and hurt his wrist prior to last season and didn't see any action. He left Florida during the spring semester.
The Vols need defensive linemen, and Brown is the fifth defensive linemen to commit to them for the 2010 class. After everything is said and done, more is said than done. Defy Conventional Wisdom - Noah |
