A 3-star prospect (.8537), Flint chose Tennessee over offers from Mississippi State, Auburn, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, and Louisville, among others. He’s the 51st-best outside linebacker and the nation’s No. 721 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite.
Flint’s commitment makes it 19 for the Vols, who now sit at No. 6 in the nation and remain in first in the SEC in 247’s team rankings. Eight of Tennessee’s current commits are 4- or 5-star guys, giving UT a blue chip ratio of 42%.
