Workin’ for the Weekend

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 fans can expect to see Tennessee targets:

Tennessee

The Vols list will likely get bigger, likely with more instate players and of course 2022 prospects from across the country.  One to keep an eye out for are LB Greg Penn, who is at South Carolina on Thursday. 

Clemson

FSU

Florida

Alabama

Another visit of note is that 5-star QB Caleb Williams is on a weekend-long UV to Oklahoma.  If he pops for the Sooners look for Clemson to make a move for Christian Veilleux, as well as maybe PSU.  Maryland will have top Vol target DE Demeioun Robinson on campus, while and CB Nyland Green, who was in Knoxville for a late January Junior Day and is expected in Columbia on Friday will then head to Oregon on an unofficial visit.  Lastly, 4-star DB Jantzen Dunn, who recently named Tennessee as his leader along with Oklahoma, visited Ohio State this week and picked up an offer from the Buckeyes.   

After this weekend the Vols will be real players – as in having hosted at least one campus visit and/or with a future visit planned AND still remaining reasonably in the mix – for upwards of 40 elite prospects in the 2021 class.  That’s damn impressive.
