three-star senior offensive lineman ryan winkel of christian brothers high school in memphis, tenn., posted friday afternoon on his twitter account that he received a scholarship offer from tennessee.
"blessed to have received an offer from the university of tennessee! #rockytop," he tweeted.
The 6-foot-6, 280-pound winkel was born and raised in knoxville and played at knoxville's bearden high school before moving to memphis less than two years ago. He has received scholarship offers from at least 25 schools, including mississippi state, arkansas, northwestern, memphis, nebraska, central florida and virginia.
Winkel is scheduled to take official visits to mississippi state this weekend and arkansas next weekend, and northwestern hosted him on an official visit last month.
