"It's known as D-Line U," Couch said. "They have had a lot of great defensive lineman that have came through there. Coach Smith and Coach Hinshaw. Playing time is also a big thing."

The Vols offer lots of playing time for the talented and motivated Couch. He'll make his official announcement on December 1st when he picks either Tennessee or South Carolina. He has certain criteria that he's looking for and both schools offer a lot.

"Playing time is big," Couch said. "I'm not looking to go somewhere and sit on the bench. Having a good relationship with the coaches. A good support staff with academics. Those are some things that are important to me.

"I talk to coach Wilcox and he told me that if I come in and work then I will have a great chance to play a lot. I just have to keep pushing myself."

Couch will see the Vols up close next week when he visits Tennessee officially for the Ole Miss game.

Another positive for the Vols is defensive line coach Chuck Smith. Smith has mentored and trained several big names now playing in the NFL before he came back home to coach at his alma mater and Couch says the chance to get good coaching would be hard to pass up.

"That's a big plus for me," Couch said. "I've watched him on youtube and he's trained a lot of big time players in the league like Osi (Umenyiora) and (Michael) Strahan. I feel like I can learn a lot from him. With more work in the weight room and him coaching me, I think I'd be more dominant."

Another junior college tackle emerging on the board is Garden City (Ks.) C.C. Four-star prospect Maurice Couch.

The 6-foot-2, 295-pound tackle, who is originally from Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater has offers from programs across the nation. Included in that group are Tennessee, South Carolina, Southern Cal, Miami and others.

Couch, the No. 11 rated junior college prospect in the nation, said that he currently favors the Volunteers and Gamecocks as his top two, but recently said that he was interested in visiting Southern Cal as well.

He told a fellow Rivals.com recruiting writer that he is also interested in Florida if the Gators are interested in him.
