The Class of 2021 defensive lineman from Elbert County High School in Elberton, Ga., said the Vols are one of two teams that have been recruiting him hardest, along with South Carolina, since he decommitted from Georgia nearly two weeks ago, and he’s hoping to visit Tennessee again after the ongoing dead period for recruiting.
“Right now, at the very top, my top two that’s been recruiting me real hard is Tennessee and South Carolina,” said Dean, who’s ranked the No. 456 overall prospect and No. 28 defensive tackle in the 2021 class, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.
