Six months ago,*Shy Tuttle*seemed like a lock to go to an ACC school. North Carolina was one of those schools. Clemson was another possibility.
But with the Tar Heels off-the-field issues and Tennessees relentless pursuit of Tuttle, things began to turn in the five-star defensive tackles recruitment and the Vols began to have Tuttles earespecially over the summer. Now, it appears, Tuttle has an announcement date. Several outlets have reported Aug. 25 as the date, and Aug. 22 is his high schools first gamewhich he and his coach have mentioned before as a time marker, as he wants to concentrate on his senior season. Tuttle is a 6-foot-3, 315-pound tackle from North Davidson, North Carolinajust north of Charlotte.
His announced top five are Clemson, North Carolina, N.C. State, Miami and Tennessee, but the Vols are trending. And Tuttle has a reason for why he wants to be done with it in a few weeks.
Teams are getting full, and they are running out of scholarships, so I just didnt want to wait too long to make an announcement, Tuttle told theWinston-Salem Journal.
Getting full could indicate that hes leaning to Tennessee, as the Vols 2015 class is absolutely filling up quickly. The Vols have 22 commitments, but then again, Clemson has 22 alsoboth classes are among the five biggest groups in the nation at this point. North Carolina, on the other hand, has plenty of room with 15 commitments. Those have been considered the true top three for him all year.
Stay tuned, Vols fans. You may have your third five-star commitment in a few weeks (along withKahlil McKenzie*and*Preston Williams).
