Trey Coleman RB West Monroe, LA 6’1″ 201 (3-star) Committed 6/17/16
Josh Ward’s Take: Coleman has good size at running back and will have an opportunity to beat out Chandler for snaps in Tennessee’s offense. Coleman is a good enough athlete that he could play offense or defense in college.

Marquez Bembry DE Atlanta, GA 6’3″ 210 (3-star) Committed 3/17/16
Josh Ward’s Take:
Bembry is one of the top athletes in the class. Tennessee’s staff will have to figure out where to play him on the field. How his body develops at the college level will help determine his best position, which likely be in a pass rush role.
![Actor Timothy Olyphant Got Knocked on His Butt After Smoking Willie Nelson’s Weed [Watch]](https://cdn.socast.io/6616/sites/1446/2017/02/01095255/Timothy-Olyphant1.jpg#aqua_resizer_image_not_local)
Actor Timothy Olyphant (Justified, Deadwood) stopped by Conan last night (Jan. 31) and shared an amusing anecdote about smoking Willie Nelson’s brand of marijuana, Willie’s Reserve, at Austin City Limits.
After going backstage with his brother, Timothy was offered some of Willie’s cannabis, an offer that the actor couldn’t refuse. However, after taking two hits, which turned out to be “at least one hit too many,” Timothy found himself sitting on the ground while a bit of paranoia set in. Not wanting to be spotted in his disheveled state, he ventured onward after writing the name of his hotel down so he wouldn’t forget.
“There’s a lot of things I’d like to have in common with Robert Downey Jr.,” said Timothy, “but walking into the wrong home and falling asleep is not one of them.”

Jordan Murphy WR Hattiesburg, MS 6’1″ 165 (4-star) Committed 7/20/16
Josh Ward’s Take:
Murphy is one of the top athletes in the class and someone who can help fill the void left by Josh Malone, who departed early for the NFL Draft. Murphy was a Mr. Football winner who declined heavy pursuit from Ole Miss.
Jacquez Jones WR Clearwater, FL 5’11” 164 (3-star) Committed 5/20/16
Josh Ward’s Take:
Tennessee hopes Jones can push for playing time right away. The Vols have an open competition at receiver and Jones, who isn’t the biggest player in the class, has play-making ability when he receives the ball.
Tim Jordan RB Bartow, FL 6’0″ 185 (2-star) Committed 1/22/17
Josh Ward’s Take:
Jordan was the third running back in this class that Tennessee desperately needed to add. Depth is a question at the position for Tennessee, and Jordan provides it. His profile continued to rise through the recruiting cycle as he ended up choosing the Vols over North Carolina.

K’Rojhn Calbert OL McMinnville, TN 6’6″ 285 (3-star) Committed 11/15/16
Josh Ward’s Take:
Calbert is an athletic offensive tackle who will be given plenty of time to develop at Tennessee. He’ll spend the 2017 season focusing on physical development with the goal of contributing for the Vols in the future. He has major upside.
LaTrell Bumphus DE Savannah, TN 6’4″ 230 (4-star) Committed 6/17/16
Josh Ward’s Take:
Bumphus could help Tennessee as a defensive end or tight end. That could be determined by how he plays or the way others in this class perform on the defensive side. Either way, Bumphus is a versatile athlete and one of the top players in the state of Tennessee.
