HOOVER, Ala. Aaron Hicks Jersey Hes a walking contradictionto everything youve been told or sold about student athletes.Hes not looking for the easy out, not finding the easy cla ses or the easy road or blaming someone else for something he should have controlled but didnt.SEC: | HAYES: |Josh Dobbs plays football at Tenne see. Hes also an aerospace engineer major.Before we go further, lets get one thing straight: Theyre both very important to me, Dobbs said. Neither is more important than the other.Hes the star quarterback for the Vols, the one player that is so important to the teams future, he sat in on the interview proce s this offseason for Tenne sees new offensive coordinator.Hes a star in the cla sroom, recently completing an elite internship at Pratt and Whitney in West Palm Beach an internship that has opened future doors he couldnt have imagined.He is the poster boy for everything the NCAA has tried to argue during its landmark litigation of fighting to keep money from players. And he just might be Clint Frazier Jersey the first feel-good superstar the SEC has had since a guy named Tebow.His teammates call him Astro; his coach calls him his CEO.There arent many like him, says Tenne see coach Butch Jones.Yet there was Dobbs, sitting in front of microphones and cameras and notepads all afternoon at SEC Media Days, dre sed neatly in an orange gingham shirt and a Smokey Mountain gray suit and answering questions about finally beating Florida. Or winning the East Division. Or leading Tenne see back to relevance or the importance of momentum or the pre sure of playing as the favorite.Pre sure? When Dobbs was in seventh grade, he asked his mother to take him to the Tuskegee Airman Camp in Atlanta. He was 13 years old and wanted to learn how planes were manufactured.Years later, hes taking cla ses on aerospace physics and thermodynamics and Andy Pettitte Jersey began his Tenne see career by loading up on coursework that would allow him to finish earlyandexplore internship opportunities. Hes not allowing some flunky in the academic advisement office to fill out his schedule.Earlier this spring, Dobbs worked on the F-135 engine for Pratt and Whitney, the power Gary Sanchez Jersey for the F-35 Lightning II a new plane that will soon be war ready. Even ran the engine on one of his last days in south Florida.SN SPECIAL: You really think hes going to get frazzled this fall in Gainesville when its third-and-9in the fourth quarter and the Vols need a critical first down?He has this calm way about him, said Tenne see cornerback Cam Sutton. You see that and it just makes you think everything is going to be OK.Because thats what the CEO does, what Jones has tried to drill into Dobbs this offseason. Its not just running the company, its making everyone Greg Bird Jersey around you better.Its making tailback Jalen Hurd (who now weighs 242 pounds) more dangerous. Its making wideouts Marquez North and Pig Howard and Josh Malone more dynamic.Its taking a young team still learning how to win games that matter, and zeroing in on whats important and ignoring whats not.A lot of what goes on in the cla sroom can translate to what happens on the field, Dobbs said.Imagine that, an actual connection between the cla sroom and the field right down to the time-honored practice of taunting.I gue s other teams could taunt me, Dobbs said. What are they going to say, Youre smart!A walking contradiction, all right.
