Taylor has been recruited to play quarterback, wide receiver and safety. The Vols recruited him as a receiver. Tennessee has been recruiting me as a wide receiver, others wanted me as defensive back. I want to play wide receiver and Tennessee is telling me that is were Ill play, Tennessee has had great receivers.
April 10, 2018-Pruitt announces freshman Alontae Taylor switched positions from wide receiver to defensive back.
That didnt take long. They may play him both ways, but if Taylors goals is to reach the NFL, his greatest upside is at defensive back. He has the tools to be a shut down corner if they leave him at DB.
