Bryce Brown, the #1 football recruit (class of 2009), committed to the University of Tennessee today. Brown narrowed his choices to Tennessee, LSU, Kansas State, Miami, and Oregon, but in the end stated that God gave him a sign that Tennessee was where he needed to be. Brown also said that Tennessee would prepare him the best for the next level. I respect that Brown let God play a role in his decision to become a Vol. I disagree with Brown saying Oregon's spread offense would hinder him in terms of getting to the NFL. Fromer Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart had a fine rookie season in the NFL, and Jerimiah Johnson looks to get picked up in this years draft (current running back LaGarrette Blount also could become a first day pick in the 2010 draft). With Brown heading to the SEC, Oregon will need either Andre Crenshaw, or LaMichael James to emegre as the lightning to Blount's thunder for the 2009 season.
