the visit went great. It was good hanging out with the coaches and the players and checking out the campus, mincey said.
The 3-star end held an early offer from tennessee, but unlike the last staff, mincey has a strong familiarity with tennessee's new coaches. Mincey held prior relationships with tracy rocker, kevin sherrer and charles kelly, so this weekend served as a good time to reconnect with a trio of coaches whove recruited him to other schools in the past.
they said they knew id like the campus and the school for a fact, he said. they were telling me good things about the opportunities on playing time.
theyre going to be switching up schemes from a 4-3 to a 3-4 and i will be playing defensive end in a 4-3. I can play stand-up backer in a 3-4 or i can get down and run inside as a 5-technique, he explained. During film study, mincey watched highlights of alabamas dashawn hand and how he would be utilized similarly at ut. just hows he real versatile on the d-line going from outside to inside rusher, mincey said.
With a close connection to multiple coaches and a depth chart devoid of impact pass rushers, the vols are definitely a top option for peach state native. He still has visits remaining to south carolina and florida state and then will make his collegiate choice on national signing day. Asked where tennessee stands exactly following his weekend on rocky top, mincey flashed a big grin, and simply said, i dont know. I cant answer that.
