Tennessee hosted a group of several top targets from the state of Alabama this past week, including Rivals250 center prospect Brandon Kennedy.
The Wetumpka, Ala., native has been keeping in touch with offensive line graduate assistant and former Vol Anthony Parker and liked what he saw in Knoxville.
"I actually talk to coach Parker and we set the visit and we went down there," Kennedy said. "Tennessee was great. Their campus was exciting and their stadium is huge."
The 6-foot-2, 293-pound versatile offensive lineman admitted he wasn't familiar with Tennessee before the visit but came away impressed with what Tennessee had to offer.
"I didn't know much," Kennedy explained. "I just saw, from videos and stuff, some games and I was just amazed at how big the facilities had to offer and the program as a whole."
Kennedy was able to spend time several Vol coaches during his visit and he likes how they see him fitting into the offense on Rocky Top
"I talked to coach (Don) Mahoney. I didn't get to talk to coach Jones, he was at the SEC Meetings, but I talked to most of the coaches, the offensive coordinator, the running backs coach," Kennedy said. "They really think I'm versatile. They think I can play more than one position and can play either center or guard."
