VOLS AMONG TOP CONTENDERS FOR TOP247 OL
Another of Tennessee’s top offensive-line targets, four-star offensive tackle
Stanton Ramil of Thompson High School in Alabaster, Ala., traveled to Knoxville last weekend for the first time after getting an offer from the Vols in late February. They made a strong first impression on him, by all accounts, and he’s already planning to make the trip to Knoxville again at some point.
Sources close to Ramil’s recruitment believe Tennessee is one of the top contenders for him among the more than 20 programs pursuing him, with Auburn being among the Vols' main competition. The major wild card worth watching might be Alabama, where his father played. The Crimson Tide have yet to extend an offer to him but are keeping a close eye on him, and it’s still possible that he could land an offer from them at some point. If they decide to join the race for him, they likely would become one of the top contenders for him, if not the team to beat. For now, though, Tennessee appears to be one of the teams in the best shape with Ramil coming off his trip to Knoxville last weekend.
