Tennessee commit honored as Linebacker of the Year

Covington (LA) linebacker Otha Peters was named the linebacker of the year by game officials as they announced their award winners during the 6th-annual Offense-Defense All-America Game on December 29th.

"You can't help but love his tape and he showed the same things in our game that he did on tape from the season, "said Offense-Defense High School Director Brian Mabry, "If he can grow a couple more inches there is no doubt he could be a high draft pick one day."

Peters finished his senior year with 161 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, eight and a half sacks, 11 hurries, six pass breakups, four forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.

"He was one of the best players in our game regardless of position and possibly had the most impressive senior year of any player in our game, "said Offense-Defense Director of Player Personnel Josh Buchanan, "He will make a big impact for the Vols over the next few years."
