With today’s commitment of WR Walker Merrill from Brentwood HS in Nashville, Tennessee now has nine public commitments.  Merrill is the second of those from the Volunteer State along with ATH Elijah Howard, and is another elite talent in the Vols’ commitment column.  Our prior column understated both Merrill’s standing […]

After signing 10 Tennesseans as part of the class of 2020 – after only signing 5 (including Melvin McBride, who immediately took a medical redshirt in the class of 2019 – it is an open question how big a part of Tennessee’s 2021 class instate prospects will be.  A common […]

This first weekend of March will be the initial opportunity for programs across the country to host prospects on campus.  Following up on last week’s news and notes at the end of February, below are more flushed out expected visitor lists for Tennessee and its chief rivals and where Vol […]

Add DL Monkell Goodwine to the list of elite players that new TE Coach Joe Osovet has Tennessee in on.  He recently named the Vols in his top 6 along with Alabama, Oklahoma, LSU, Texas A&M, and local Maryland.  The Vols seem to have some ground to make up with […]
