The Boys of Boulder: Eugene Goree

Eugene Goree's a tremendous player from the state of Tennessee who's not going to Tennessee, or anywhere else in the SEC for that matter. Instead, he'll bring his 6' 4", 281lb. defensive tackle frame to Boulder and probably be standing on the sidelines ready to play every other down. He's likely just one injury away from losing his red-shirt year and seeing action. With just Jason Brace, George Hypolite and couple others battling ahead of him, Goree looks like he's just outside the two-deep entering summer camp.

Fortunately, the Buffs got a good on in Goree. He was one of three finalists for the 'Mr Football' award given to lineman in the 5A classification, and was first team all-state in the football-crazed state of Tennessee. He won't start this year, but again, like a lot of others in this class, at minimum he should start for year and anchor the defensive line for Hawkins from his sophomore through his senior years in Boulder.
