ESPN/SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic, a former Auburn Tigers offensive lineman, is a big fan of one of the Tennessee Vols' offseason transfer portal additions.
Cubelic really likes the Vols' pickup of Tulane transfer wide receiver Chris Brazzell.
"Really like the Chris Brazzell pickup for Vol football," tweeted Cubelic on Friday. "Tulane WR transfer is super smooth inside a big frame."

Cubelic expanded on his thoughts on Brazzell earlier in the week on "McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning".
"Tulane wide receiver Chris Brazzell, 6-foot-5/195 lbs, he's going to be transferring to Tennessee," said Cubelic. "Any wide receiver would want to be involved in that offense with the opportunities you're going to be given and provided. 44 catches, 711 yards last year [and] five receiving touchdowns. Took a look at him yesterday and quite honestly [I] was blown away with what I saw."
"To see that he's 6-foot-5, first off, he doesn't look it on film," continued Cubelic. "He looks long, but a lot of times you get the bigger wide receivers, they don't move laterally very well. They're not really smooth in and out of their breaks -- they look a little bit stiff. Kind of like an undersized tight end. Brazzell doesn't look like that at all. He's extremely smooth, very loose, very athletic. He looks like he runs crisp routes....I think Tennessee may have hit a home run here with Chris Brazzell, the wide receiver from Tulane, just with the size and athletic ability he's going to bring to that offense."

Brazzell will join Bru McCoy, Squirrel White, Dont'e Thornton, Chas Nimrod, Mike Matthews, and Braylon Staley in what should be one of the top wide receiver groups in the nation.
