ERIC SWINNEY RB, 5-10/185, TYRONE, GA.
VISIT RECAP: Last week's camp was Swinney's second visit to Rocky Top, but his first where he got to tour the campus and have more thorough visits with the coaching staff. Most importantly it gave him a chance to sit down with running backs coach Robert Gillespie to start the relationship-building process. His first visit came during the Orange & White Game on April 20. He said during the visit that he's up to 10 offers, with the latest being Arkansas and named Tennessee, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt as his leaders. Of the 10, the Vols were the first to offer Swinney.
QUOTABLE: "(On sitting down and talking with Butch Jones)"We sat down and talked a little bit. Talked about me. Talked about him. They're building a program here. Starting now. They're trying to win a national championship."
