Torrey, Torrey, Torrey

The Anniston Star is reporting that Defensive Tackle, Torrey Davis, a Florida transfer is practicing with the Gamecocks. A few facts about Davis:
* played in 19 games for the Gators;
*5 Star recruit by Rivals and Scout;
*#2 rated Defensive Tackle in the Nation by Rivals;
*9th highest overall prospect.

Apparently, he is still working to fulfill conditions set by Coach Crowe, but he is practicing. It says a lot about our program and where we are going when players of this caliber choose to transfer to JSU.

Barring injury, this has the makings of a dominant defense. Coaches like to be strong up the middle. JSU will be anchored by Davis and All OVC lineman, Brandt Thomas. Interior linebackers will be Alex Henderson, all OVC, and certified bone crusher, Morrell Jones. Behind them will be pre-season All American Carnell Clark and Josh Cain.

It will also be exciting to see what kind of pass rush players like Jamison Wadley (Gadsden Player of the Year), Kevin Dix (Ga. track record holder) and Rodney "Big Texas" Garrott can bring from the edge.

Coach Stewart is known to exhort his troops to "Get off the Field!" With this crew, 3 and outs seem more and more likely.
