re: Travis Etienne Jennings High RB 2017

Travis Etienne updated stats through week 6:

Attempts: 125
Yards: 1492
TDs: 25
YPC: 11.94

He's a beast ...we need to jump on this kid. Those Mississippi schools will in a heartbeat, followed by Arkansas and A&M

Vs St. Louis Catholic
27 rushes
250 yards
3 tds

Louisiana Tech is recruiting him as well.

Not sure on what he's planning on majoring in, but he did say he was interested in attending Tennessee, last Friday he rushed for 240 yards, 343 all purpose yards and even played one down of defense, and returned a pick six for a 103 yd. touchdown. Travis also needs 22 yds. to pass Lawrence Nixon's single-season school rushing record of 2,334 yds. Hopefully he breaks the record this Friday against the Iowa Yellow Jackets at home.

Tennessee is what I'm hearing from the Jennings folk as well.

I also heard that the SEC schools that have talked to him have expressed interest in him on defense, he hasn't played much defense all year.

I guess that's why.

His first and only snap on defense.

He may be seeing more time there going forward if Jennings wants to make a run going forward.

for real lol... over 500 points given up in all likelihood when you count their playoff game

i'd consider it a black mark if he didn't play any defense on a team that clearly needs it

Totals for year: 2,596 rushing yards; 39 Touchdowns; 259.6 yards per game.

that's a lot of points scored, but that's a lot of point allowed. at first you can't help but be impressed with their offense, and then you look at the defense
