Rocky Top Talk, a Tennessee Volunteers community

RTT#1 Darren Myles, Jr. had only seven tackles in seven games in 2009, but did it backing up Eric Berry. Expect great things from him in 2010.

RTT#2 in Tennessee's Class of 2009, Janzen Jackson, had an up-and-down season his first year on Rocky Top. Here's hoping it's all up for the rest of his career.

RTT#3 in the Class of 2009 Bryce Brown came to Tennessee with HUGE expectations, and he did fairly well despite playing behind Montario Hardesty. The flakiness factor, though, will likely define his Tennessee career.

Was Nu'Keese Richardson, RTT#4 in the Class of 2009, the biggest bust of the class? Uh-huh.

Defensive lineman Rae Sykes was RTT#6 in 2007 and RTT#7 in 2009, yet has played in only one game for the #vols, against Western Kentucky. Is 2010 finally his time?

RTT#10 in the Class of 2009 Marsalis Teague had 147 receiving yards in his true freshman season. Not bad considering he was competing against upper classmen Gerald Jones, Denarius Moore, and Quintin Hancock.

RTT#11 in UT's Class of 2009 Zach Rogers had only 34 yards in 2009, but played in 12 games despite a loaded and experienced receiving corps.

Marlon Walls, RTT#12 in Tennessee's class of 2009 (and RTT#5 in the class of 2008), had only two tackles in eight games in 2009, but should have more opportunities in 2010.

Checking in with RTT#13 in Tennessee's Class of 2009, Greg King did about as well as expected in his freshman season as a Vol.

RTT#16 David Oku is the first underranked/overachieving player for the Tennessee Volunteers in the Class of 2009. Oku excelled returning kickoffs and got into the action in the rushing and receiving games as well.
