The 6-foot, 225-pound Boone said Tennessee made a good impression on him during Thursday’s visit after extending a scholarship offer to him more than nine months ago, and it’s “a place I’ll visit more often” in the coming months. “I always liked them,” said Boone. “I just wanted to see how it looked. I liked it. It was different. I liked the school.”
Walking inside Tennessee’s Anderson Training Center and seeing the Vols’ indoor practice field was among the highlights of the visit for Boone. “When you first walk in there, I thought it was, like, a regular building going up to the practice field or something,” he said. "The practice field, you go up an elevator and then (the practice field is), like, right there. I liked how it was set up.” Despite already having a good impression of Tennessee, Boone said he “didn’t know nothing about it” before arriving in Knoxville on Thursday. “I liked the school,” he said. “I just didn't know a lot about it.”
“It’s almost like a family down there,” Boone said. “I liked how it is down there. I liked it a lot.” Boone said he recently has been in contact with Tennessee coach
Jeremy Pruitt, talking with him, “like, every other week,” and he enjoyed meeting with some of the Vols’ coaches while he was on campus. “They just said they need a big running back. There’s not a lot of big running backs. There’s only a few,” Boone said. "The coaches, they get really fired up. They were really fired up when we got there. I liked that.”
Boone, who also stopped at Cincinnati, Kentucky, Toledo and Bowling Green during the road trip, said he’s not sure when he might make it back to Tennessee. But he said the Vols are one of the teams currently in line to host him on an official visit. “Teams that stand out are Tennessee, Purdue, Kentucky and Michigan,” he said. “Basically, all the schools I said, I’m probably going to take (an official) visit to.”
