It’s not as much of a surprise as Tennessee closing the deal on Henry To’oto’o today, but it’s every single bit as welcome: The Vols have signed 5-star offensive lineman Darnell Wright.
And with that, Tennessee put the finishing touches on one of, if not the, best offensive line classes in the country this recruiting season. That it was THE position of need is just icing on the cake.
Wright (5-star, 247 Composite .9944) is joined by fellow 5-star Wanya Morris (.9871), 4-star Jackson Lampley (.9124), and 3-stars Chris Akporoghene (.8602) and Melvin McBride (.8830). The class also includes 4-star tight end Jackson Lowe (.8947) and 3-star tight end Sean Brown (.8635).
More on the Vols’ class of 2019 later. Jeremy Pruitt speaks to the media about the class at 4:30.
