Berry won’t disclose choice before bowl

GameSetMatch — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:39:02 +0000

Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin believes Eric Berry will play in the NFL next year.

Virginia Tech is just trying to figure out what position Berry will play on Thursday night.

Berry, a junior safety, could play his last game for Tennessee in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Virginia Tech. He is projected as a high first-round pick if he enters the NFL draft. Most mock drafts list Berry among the top five picks.

“I want to focus on Virginia Tech,” he said.

Virginia Tech’s biggest concern is following Berry on the field. He has 14 career interceptions but the safety often plays in the middle of the defense like a linebacker.

“We’ve asked Tennessee to put a little red light on top of Eric and so we’ll know where he is all the time,” Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring joked Tuesday. “They haven’t really gotten back with us to let us know if they’re going to do that.”

Berry (5 feet 11, 203 pounds) is an effective run-stopper. He is second on the team with 83 tackles, including six for losses.

Key freshmen among Vols arrested

GameSetMatch — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:03:47 +0000

Safety Janzen Jackson and receiver Nu’Keese Richardson, two of coach Lane Kiffin’s most prized signees from his first recruiting class, were among three Tennessee football players arrested early Thursday morning in Knoxville on charges of attempted armed robbery.

The third player arrested was also a freshman, defensive back Mike Edwards. It was not immediately clear if the players have attorneys.

According to a Knoxville City Police report, the arrests stemmed from an attempted robbery outside a convenience store near campus. A powered pellet gun was recovered in the players’ car after they were stopped by police near the Gibbs Hall dormitory on campus, where the Vols’ freshman football players live.

Vols’ middle LB Savion Frazier out for season

GameSetMatch — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:51:37 +0000

Tennessee has lost its starting middle linebacker because of a season-ending injury for the second time this season.

Junior Savion Frazier injured his right knee in the third quarter of the Volunteers’ 31-13 win over South Carolina on Saturday. It’s the same kind of injury that knocked his predecessor, junior Nick Reveiz, out for the season.

Already woefully thin at linebacker, the Vols (4-4) are looking at different options of filling the role of defensive quarterback as they prepare for Memphis (2-6).
