>> Four-star Class of 2022 wide receiver/athlete
Barion Brown of Nashville's Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School said he has been hearing from Tennessee "a couple times a week." He had good things to say about the Vols' new staff, and while Tennessee's coaches have mentioned that they want to get him the ball in their uptempo, spread offense, he said he doesn't necessarily view the Vols much differently as a result of their coaching change.
Brown, who again showed flashes of his speed and natural playmaking ability on Saturday, said he's still talking with a number of teams on a regular basis. The race for Brown has continued to heat up in recent months, with more than 20 teams now pursuing him, and he's not ready to name any leaders at this point. But it's worth noting that Alabama received a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction for him on Friday.
