Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2008
Marlon Walls is more than ready for his Neyland Stadium debut today, even if he’s not clad in orange and white.
This time around, the 2008 Tennessee commitment will be starting at middle linebacker for Hargrave Military Academy against his beloved Vols during Thursday’s junior varsity game.

Like many prospects, Walls said he considered looking at other schools in light of UT coach Phillip Fulmer’s departure. “That was part of the dream, to play for Phillip Fulmer,” said Walls, who will enroll at UT in January. “I stepped back three days ago and I was going to open up my options. But I just couldn’t see myself anywhere else besides Tennessee. “I just love it too much. Whatever coach we get, it’s going to be good.”
