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%.

Looks better than rated. On several plays his D-line got blown off the ball and he was still able to get into position to make plays, sometimes shedding bigger blockers very quickly. Fast too. Great get.

I agree with David that this guy is very under-rated. I was also impressed with his film in his ability to cover guys in space. Speedy linebacker who can shed blocks! Let’s keep it going and get a Top 10 class!
