'25 NC ATH Jordan Young

Yeah, I know.

But at least we could go to white over orange as the primary road uniform. It's so much more Tennessee.

That’s an opinion. I happen to prefer that combination and don’t cotton the all-orange, either. Doesn’t make it unequivocally the only correct take.

It is an opinion. But it's my opinion, so it's obviously the correct one.

“Some schools just offer you to offer you,” he said of this. “They don’t always stay in touch with the communication. But the schools I have on my list, have been, and Tennessee is one of those schools that constantly communicates with me. I just like at how those schools develop their players.”

Young has built a strong relationship with Tennessee Defensive Coordinator Tim Banks throughout the process.

“His message has been this is not a three to four year decision, this is a lifetime decision, and if I come to Tennessee, I will be setup for life,” Young said of this. “He cares about his players. He develops his players, and the proof is in the pudding. He said Tennessee is a great place, a small town, and they care about sports and a good place to be.”

Young has also connected well with Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel during the process as well.

“He is one of a few head coaches that came down to see me multiple times,” Young said. “He is very transparent with me. He won’t lie to you. He is a really standup person, and I like them about him.”

Monroe, NC athlete Jordan Young will also be back in town next month and he is hoping Tennessee commitment George MacIntyre will be in town that same weekend. That was one of the more interesting nuggets we picked up along the way is that MacIntyre is not only recruiting wide receivers and offensive lineman but defensive players as well. Clemson and Florida State feel like Tennessee’s biggest competition as we head into the spring.

From Rivals:

Young's recruitment still has a ways to go thanks to a commitment date set for his birthday on Oct. 10 but official visits will set the tone for how the rest of the summer and early fall could play out. Clemson is getting Young on campus for its big official visit weekend at the beginning of June, and he will follow with trips to Tennessee, Florida State, NC State and possibly others.

The Tigers have been considered the favorite but this is a tight race with Tennessee and Florida State already having done a good job getting his attention. NC State is working hard, as well, to make sure he doesn't leave his home state for college.
