Maybe he wants to commit on Sunday Dec 17 and the sign the next Wednesday on the 20th at the start of early signing?

THE SKINNY — Emerson didn't commit Saturday, but the blue-chip prospect continues to lean toward the Vols. He openly acknowledged Tennessee is making a move for him. The Jackson defensive end said every trip “gets better every time.”

Emerson called OCD “amazing,” and said he really enjoyed hanging with lots of commits and fellow prospects. He said it’s great hanging with Cade Mays, Brant Lawless, D’Andre Litaker and others because they can just chill and they don't pressure him into a commitment.

Asked if he could turn down playing with Lawless and Litaker, Emerson said, “It’s be real tough. Real tough.”

It wouldn't surprise if he's a silent but I think he still takes some visits. He's more mature than you're average high school senior and had to deal with some adversity at young age. He'll not only be a good player for us but a great influence in the locker room. Only way I think we lose this one is if we suck this year and coaching change is on the table.

Butch and his staff have been true to the character part of the recruiting profile. I've been fortunate enough to meet many of the players that Butch has brought in and every one of them just seem to be very high quality young men. Big change from players I've met from other coaching staffs all the way back to Majors.

The momentum for Jackson, Tennessee defensive end Greg Emerson seems to reside squarely with Tennessee. Emerson is close with a large group of Vols commits and that bond expanded yesterday with his time in Knoxville for 'Orange Carpet Day.' A visit that seems to be only topped by his future trips to Rocky Top.

"Honestly I think it gets better every time," Emerson said. "They always bust out something new in your face. This is my first time coming up for 'Orange Carpet Day' and I got to see a lot of different recruits and meet up with a lot of the commits. Today was amazing. It was a good 'Orange Carpet Day.'"

"It actually does (make it easier)," Emerson said. "They don't try to pressure you into being a commitment. They just how you how good the state is itself, the city and they always chill. They don't bring up, 'Greg you need to commit.' and they just tell you how it is."

The Tennessee staff made Litaker, Emerson and Lawless a priority a long time ago, but back in February as the finishing touches on the 2017 class pieced together, they began their pitch of the "Big 3" to each kid. With two of the three already committed, Emerson admits that it will be hard to not fulfill that trifecta. "It would be tough," Emerson said. "Real tough. We just chill. We are Tennessee boys so we stick together."

Alabama, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon and Clemson join the Vols in Emerson's Top 6 that he released last month. Just two months ago, he was topping the scales at 295 pounds. A desire to play defensive end instead of defensive tackle pushed the talented defender to drop weight. He currently weighs 257 pounds and is feeling lean and ready to be mean inside the white lines.

"Body wide and all around, I feel way better," Emerson said. "When I was at 295, I had bad shin-splints and I couldn't run as fast. My 40 time dropped to a 4.6. I've dropped two tenths in my 40 time. My whole being stationary to being mobile explosiveness has all transitioned with that weight loss."
