With UM still looking for a big back for the 2014 Class, after Saturday's performance by Ensworth HS RB D'Andre Ferby, I think UM will bWithrning up the heat. UM has been recruiting/ evaluating the kid quietly for a while now, I am going to say for Defense since Corn Elder was main show at RB for Ensworth previously. But with a very solid year I think UM offers the 6'2" 220lbs manchild who threw a powerball 39ft as a sophomore an that also runs a legit 4.56sec 40yd which he displayed to the nation on espn during the game on his way to rushing for 194yds and 3 TD's against the nations #2 team at the time ( that hadn't lost a game in 2 years).
UM has been evaluating this kid for 2 years now, so I am thinking they wanted to see how he will perform as a full time starter. I think UM was evaluating him specifically as a LB/DE but he is a powerful runner (very raw) that will most likely need a red-shirt year to adjust to the college game. He can run over high school kids but FBS players will be a different story not to mention Saturday night he had Gigantic holes to run through, I also like that he fought through conditioning problems playing both ways.
Funny thing is apparently UT fans are bashing this kid on Volnations per his responses to him on Twitter. Also apparently Tennessee Titan Players where also tweeting the young man about his game performance Saturday night, along with his very good friend Corn Elder. I like that he stayed humble an shouted his entire Oline for paving the way for a team win, and his new found celebrity.

I also think when D'Andre Ferby & has family re-watch and the game and hear all the UM references along with his boy Corn Elder in his ear about UM I think it could help UM take the inside track for this kid if UM does pick up recruiting interest in him; provided he has his academics in order.
In his 2nd game of the 2013 season Ferby ran 104yds on 3 carries for 3 TD's, then he was done for the night as his team won by 40 pts.
Ferby watched the UM vs UF an I am sure saw a role for him as a power back to compliment our current RB's.
Go Canes!
