"Yesterday, Coach Terry Joseph came by my high school and extended an offer from Tennessee," Mark Harrell said. "They're a really reputable SEC school. As far as academics, I don't know too much about them, but I'm definitely going to look into what they have to offer. It's a big time program. I'll possibly visit before making my decision. I'm going to try the best I can to fit in more trips this summer before I decide."
"My parents have gone on the visits with me," Harrell said. "Their input will be a big factor in my decision. Academics are a really big for me. I'd like to earn a solid degree in either Business or Marketing. The next thing is how well I fit in. I'd like to be in a place I feel at home and comfortable because I’ll be there the next four possibly five years. Third, I want to win football games. I'd like to play for a program with a winning tradition. You put so much time and energy into it, you might as well enjoy winning games."
