Justice Dingle - Hudl
The three-star junior linebacker from Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tenn., now holds offers from Kentucky, Louisville and Middle Tennessee in addition to the Tennessee, and while he said he doesnt have an early favorite, he admitted hes already high on the Vols.
Its an amazing program, Dingle said Sunday during National Playmakers Academys Tennessee Exposure Camp at Franklin Road Academy. Theyre getting better and building up in the SEC, and I think they could be SEC champions soon very soon.
The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Dingle said he went to Tennessees campus in April and returned there probably about a month ago, and he likes what he has seen from the Vols during both visits.
It was amazing. I really liked it, really enjoyed it, said Dingle, whos ranked by 247Sports as the nations No. 315 overall prospect and No. 19 outside linebacker in the 2018 class. The players were there (last time), so I got to talk to Jalen Reeves-Maybin. And I got to talk to Coach (Butch) Jones and Coach Thig (linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen) and just really got to sit down and talk football, where they would use me at.
Both Jack Jones and Jennings have told Dingle good things about their experiences so far with the Vols. Just the atmosphere, its amazing, and everybody knows everyone, Dingle said, recalling what he has heard from Jennings and Jack Jones. It just feels like a big family.
I dont have any (leaders). Im open to all of my offers, Dingle said. Just trying to look at all my options and get a list out there.
Moving 90 miles north to Kentucky:
Oakland's football team took a hit this week when junior Justice Dingle announced to the team he was moving out of state. Dingle's father, Justice Dingle Sr., confirmed Wednesday the family would be moving to Bowling Green.

This kid is a NPA kid with a great work ethic. We watched him make a full 360 as a player. Justice will only get better as he continues to work and learn the game. Despite the move he'll continue to come to NPA and work to become great.

Dingle picked up his first offer from Tennessee in May while he was at Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tenn., before moving to Kentucky just before his junior season. The Vols have hosted him on multiple visits. But theyre now one of a half-dozen teams pursuing him, along with Kentucky, Louisville, Virginia, Purdue and Middle Tennessee.
Austin Price interview on VQ...Dingle said even though he lives in KY now he still considers himself a TN guy, loved his visit to UT, said he's been there on campus multiple times and really enjoys it, said he enjoyed talking with CBJ and CTT and they explained how he would be used as a LB in their scheme, etc...spoke like he was already committed to UT. His eyes lit up when Austin asked him about the group texting with the '18 class instate kids. Still on same 7on7 team with many mid state TN kids. Seemed like a really good kid, humble and soft spoken.
Prediction: Vol
