“They’re kind of, like, my main three,” Young said of the Tigers, Vols and Seminoles. “Missouri and Mississippi State, I was on kind of hard, too. But my top three, I’ve just been saying my top three. But I like all five of the schools.”
“I’m kind of building a good relationship with some of the coaches,” Young said. They call me every day, checking on me and stuff like that. I talk to Coach Pruitt, too. I call him sometimes and we talk — good conversation. He texts me and stuff like that all the time.
“They were like, ‘Just remember how we feel about you,’ and stuff like that. They really want me there.”
“I’m going to try and make that game this weekend with Tennessee and Auburn, and I’m going to try and make that game next week with Florida State and Virginia,” Young said. “I’m going to try to make it happen (this weekend). I told them I’m going to see if I can make that happen.
“(Tennessee’s coaches) want me to come, too. They were like, ‘That would be a good game to come to,’ since I’m closeby.”
Byron Young is a great story and the Vols have a solid shot there. Auburn and Florida state or the other top contenders for the South Carolina native who plays at Georgia Military.
