Just to add on..
The 6-foot-8, 300-pound tackle said he continues to talk to not only Thigpen, but a number of coaches from Tennessee's staff and is beginning to learn more and more about the Vols.
"I talk to them all the time. I talk to all of them," Blair said. "I knew a lot about them because they were already in my top group, but they told me they have nice facilities, which I already knew that, but they told me they have big plans for me and as far as academic, they have what I want."
Blair is aware of Tennessee's need for impact players along the offensive line next year and understands there's a good opportunity for him to play in Knoxville.
Blair plans on seeing Tennessee soon when he comes home from Garden City, Kan., to Anderson, Ala., for spring break in a few weeks.
"I come home for spring, which is two weeks from now, and I plan on visiting that Saturday which is March 16," Blair said.
He plans on taking in the atmosphere that weekend and seeing what it would be like if he were a Vol.
"I want to see what it's like to play division one football," Blair offered. "I just want to see what it's like. I just want it to feel like home. Wherever I go I just want it to feel like home."
With offers from Tennessee, Kansas State, Mississippi State and Arizona State already in hand, Blair plans to be a December graduate.
