Tennessee has been aggressive in offering instate players in the class of 2019.
Already, eight players have been offered by the Vols and most recently it was Chattanooga Notre Dame wide receiver Cameron Wynn who picked up an offer from Tennessee while at junior day in early March.
I didnt think I would get one, Wynn said. We got in there and checked in and me and Sam (Stovall) were just playing a game and they called us up to coach (Butch) Jones office.
Coach Jones in the office waiting for us. We went up in the office and talked about track and basketball and working out. And as soon as we were leaving he offered me a scholarship.
It was the first offer for Wynn and he wasnt expecting the offer because he is just a freshman, despite having a big season for the Irish.
I was surprised because I was just a freshman, Wynn explained. I was like, Wow, this is a big deal. Now, just have to keep working and keep pushing. I want to get better and better.
Wynn said Tennessee being his first offer is something important to him because its his home state school.
Its big because its the instate school and because Ive watched them and grew up supporting them and my mom does too, Wynn said. I like everything about it up there.
Wynn is also hearing from Clemson, Duke, Cincinnati and several other schools early on.
