The 4-star Sunshine State native once named Tennessee his leader, and coming off another recent trip to Knoxville, Corbin still holds the Vols in very high regard. The visit was amazing, Corbin told Volquest after making his third trip to Rocky Top within the last year. I really loved it up at Tennessee. When we first got there, I was greeted by eight or nine people. They really went all out on this trip. I really loved it up there.
As soon as I arrived, we went into the interview room and it was just good, Corbin said, as he wants to major in broadcasting. Its something that I want to do after football, and its a good place to know that I have an opportunity to fulfill one of my other dreams to be a broadcaster, and its good to know thats something that they can provide me.
"I love going up there just visiting. I have a great relationship with all the staff up there, he said. Its just a place that when I first went up there I just loved it. Tennessee has always been one of my favorite schools. Me and coach G have a really great relationship. Were really close. I feel comfortable just being myself around him, same with coach (Butch) Jones.
Corbin racked up more than 1,900 all-purpose yards for the Tigers last season, leading the team in rushing (1,100 yards), receiving (619 yards) and return yardage. He scored 19 total touchdowns as an all-around offensive weapon, so Tennessee is selling him on filling a similar-type role ala Kamara with the Vols.
They want to use me the exact same was as they use Alvin Kamara, but more, he said. My skill-set is very similar to his, catching, returning punts and running the ball. Doing many things to help the offense be successful. During his chat with Kamara, Corbin said he received some sage advice, specifically to follow his heart. Alvin told me to do whatever is best, Corbin said. "He just gave me a heads up whats going to happen if I was to come here. Just giving me advice about the entire process.
