FOOTBALL Big Joe Interview with Vattiato

I've said it before on here, but every time I hear Nick speak, I come away more and more impressed with him and how he carries himself. Seems like a great kid, good ambassador for the program and the school, and a great get for QB1.

Quoting myself, I've called Nick a bad ass. I have been and remain very high on him. The issue for us with him at the helm has never been his ability it's been about the OL. Will quote myself further below stated a year ago. Look what he's done with terrible protection. What could he do with a good line? Will he have it this year?

He has a good feel for the game. I’ve liked him even through that first atrocious start…I'm going to take it a step further with Nick. If (and this is a big if), there's enough OL to provide protection, Nick will be the highest rated QB under Stock sans Brent.

FB RECRUITING Your thoughts on the recruiting class?

I think Mason is very happy with his situation right now. I don't think he'd just move up to move up as of right now. He likes the idea of building something here
I heard a second hand comment from someone who was talking to a player recently about Mason and he said that this job has really rejuvenated him.

FOOTBALL Big Joe Interview with Vattiato

Prime example of the improvements we've made.

* A laid back interview not in a studio or press conference. The students and customers see cameras etc and wonder, want to know more. Seeing us do things like this outside of a controlled environment.
* Our color guy and known Nashville radio personality using his listeners and followers to build MT. He's been a great addition.
* NIL...this was at The Boulevard for a reason. Nick is sponsored by them.
* Posting this on our socials. We didn't do this in the past. Our Social Media team has really stepped up
* CDM. His willingness to let his players be open like this only helps the program connect more with the community
