TN's most talented player, and the true freshman no one is talking about.

Nashville's own, Derek Barnett
He hasn't been given any weekly awards and he wasn't mentioned on ESPN's mid-season All-SEC Freshman Team, however, he ranks second in the conference in TFLs and sixth in the league in sacks recorded.
In fact, through 8 games this season, he's had more TFLs, sacks, and solo tackles than the highly acclaimed Robert Nkemdiche did through 13 games last year. And I'm not trying to belittle Robert, he's clearly an outstanding talent. I'm just offering that up as a comparison.

Is he double teamed every down? No? Then this statement is like comparing apples to oranges.

Dont think he has gone unnoticed. He is legit and another bright spot on a young talented team. As much as I hate to admit it, I think you guys are finaly heading in the right direction.

He isn't even close to being UT's most talented player. Maybe most underrated, but not close to most talented.

I do not think he is the most talented player on the roster.
He is very productive though.
