The Vols still are in good shape with several in-state targets.
Top247 defensive tackle Brant Lawless of Nashville (Tenn.) Christian School gave Tennessee its latest in-state addition on May 1, but that could be just the beginning of the good news for the Vols with some of their top in-state targets. With four in-state players already on board in the 2018 class, they could be poised to add at least a few more high-priority prospects from Tennessee by this summer.
The Vols still are the favorites to land three-star tight end Jacob Warren of Farragut High School in Knoxville, Tenn., who’s the son of former Tennessee lineman James Warren, and they have continued to build momentum with Top247 safety Brendon Harris of Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tenn. Tennessee also still leads for four-star defensive tackle D'Andre Litaker of Riverdale High School in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and three-star athlete Cam Jones of St. Benedict at Auburndale High School in Cordova, Tenn. — the younger brother of former Vols defensive tackle LaRon Harris — is strongly considering Tennessee despite currently being committed to Indiana.
At least a couple of those players could be ready to announce decisions in the coming weeks, and the Vols still are one of the teams to beat for a handful of other in-state players, including top-100 defensive lineman Greg Emerson, three-star offensive tackle/tight end Tanner Antonutti, three-star offensive lineman Jerome Carvin, three-star cornerback Rayshad Williams, Top247 wide receiver Camron Johnson and three-star defensive back Jaylon King. Even Teague, the Top247 running back, still isn’t out of the question.
