Josh Dobbs, 4-star Quarterback, Signs with Vols!

FIrecruit

KNOXVILLE— The Vols added a 4-star quarterback (per ESPN, Scout, and 247Sports) to their 2013 class this morning when Joshua Dobbs flipped from Arizona State to Tennessee. A 6-3, 190 pound prospect from Georgia, Dobbs had been committed to Arizona State since June. The Vols made a hard push for Dobbs the past couple of weeks and it paid off.

While he’s considered to be a pro-style quarterback, he can make things happen with his legs and will be a good fit in Butch Jones’ up-tempo spread attack. Dobbs has excellent pocket awareness for a high school quarterback, good field vision, an efficient delivery, and is accurate with the football. He is a two sport athlete who plays shortstop on his school’s baseball team.

Dobbs’ high school coach Jason Dukes described him as “a smart kid who is very competitive and works hard as his craft. He takes his job of being QB very seriously. He has a high football IQ and puts the hard work in.”

He has the skills to compete for playing time when he arrives for camp this summer. You can view some highlights from his junior year in the video below.
