Welcome Mr. Pollard!!!

John Martin ‏@JohnMartinCA

Memphis football receives its first commitment of 2015 in Melrose ATH Tony Pollard, according to a source. One of top skill guys in city.

Hopefully the first of many!

Quote:Pollard (6-0, 192) played on both sides of the ball for the Golden Wildcats last season. He runs a 4.5 40-yard dash and also runs track at Melrose.

I like his speed and size, perfect DB or WR.

Good get

Hopefully this is one of many higher skilled kids in the city that will influence the 4* linebacker at Whitehaven and 4* OL at MUS to sign withe Tigers. That's what they were saying earlier.

Seems to be a solid, under the radar type guy. He isn't ranked by any service as of now...but at 6'0" 200lbs with a 4.45 40-yard dash, he could be a upper-2 star or a lower 3-star type prospect when all is said and done. Exactly the type of kids we need to be intentifying early on in the process.

As far as this helping with guys like McMillan and Richmond, I don't think the commitment from an unranked guy will sway them one way or the other. Those two will be uphill battles and I'd be shocked to land either. But that's okay...we can make hay on the SEC leftovers if we get the right ones.

Yep. No shame in it either at the moment. We will probably have a full roster next season of skilled players.

The football program is headed in the right direction. We usually get our first commitment in July. I thought we had a QB commit earlier this month though.

For the 2014 class we got a QB

Okay thanks.

If, I have said it once, I've said it a thousand times. There are plenty of players that can play this game that are just plain and simply overlooked and undervalued. Good catch Coach.

tigerjamesc · 04-18-2014 12:24 PM

Great choice! Hope he helps us recruit well

roachman48 · 04-19-2014 10:11 AM

wonder if he will play O or D with Tigers?
