The top recruit at Tennessee’s spring game Saturday was the Top247’s No. 1 prospect in the 2023 class
Lebbeus Overton who made the trip with a couple of his Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton teammates in
Jordan McDonald and
Maurice Clipper Jr.
“It was pretty cool,” Overton said. “I haven’t been in a college atmosphere in awhile because of Covid, so being able to be around that atmosphere, especially sitting by the students was amazing. Them screaming and going crazy and getting to see college football in live action.”
The five-star Overton, who is also a basketball standout and terrific student, likes the direction of the Vols program.
“Watching them you can see they’re a rising program and they looked amazing all around,” he said. “They have an amazing offense and their defense I can tell they’re adding to their defense.
“I know I say a lot about a bunch of colleges but when you see a college in person it’s a different feeling.”
Overton is hoping to do more of that in the future. “I’m planning on taking some
unofficials in June,” he said.
Other offers for Overton includes Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Stanford, Texas A&M and USC.
