Here is a list of players to watch tonight from RockyTopTalk:

Signed:

Paxton Brooks, Punter
The three star punter has signed with the Vols and will enroll early at Tennessee next week. He will have some competition, but Brooks will likely be the guy that follows Trevor Daniel.

Alontae Taylor, Receiver
Tennessee had to fight hard for him, but they were able to get the four star athlete to sign last month. Taylor talked about his recruitment earlier this week with Bud Elliott of SBNation.

Targets:

Coynis Miller, Defensive Tackle
Miller is a four star prospect out of Birmingham, still committed to Auburn. However, Miller didn’t sign during the early signing period, leaving the door cracked for Tennessee. The Vols have already paid Miller an in-home visit and are currently fighting with Florida to get him away from Auburn.

Olaijah Griffin, Cornerback
Tennessee holds a lead in the battle for Griffin, according to Griffin himself. The 6-0 four star corner is undoubtedly a must have for Tennessee, considering that the Vols have now lost four corners from the 2017 team. Griffin has been trending towards the Vols since Pruitt took over. If he commits, he’ll likely play quite a bit early on in his career.

Jacob Copeland, Receiver
The nation’s No. 5 receiver has been all about Tennessee since Jeremy Pruitt took the job. Pruitt got him to visit the weekend before the early signing period and seems to be in a good spot for the four star receiver. Alabama and Florida are also in play here.

Former Tennessee commits

Former Tennessee commits Trey Dean, Jaycee Horn and Adrian Martinez will all be taking part in the game today. Dean has signed with Florida, Horn has signed with South Carolina and Martinez has signed with Nebraska.

I don't think so. According to USAToday these are the only players who have announced they are declaring during the game:

Nik Bonnito, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.), OLB. Bonnito, a one-time Louisville commit, is the 15th-ranked player at his position in the country. He’ll choose between Louisville, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Tyreke Smith, Cleveland Heights, WDE. Smith has reportedly already silently committed, but he’ll make his decision public Thursday. Ohio State and Penn State are the big players, though Southern Cal, Alabama, and Oregon are in the mix.
Anthony Schwartz, American Heritage (Fla.), WR. Perhaps the fastest player in the class—Schwartz is also a track star—the wide receiver has said he’s already notified the coaching staff of the school he’s going to. It’s down to Florida and Auburn.
Jayson Oweh, Blair Academy (N.J.), SDE. Another dominant defensive end, Oweh is, like Smith, choosing between Penn State and Ohio State.

I love the Army All American game. I am still in the Army Reserves and was sent to Fort Hood 2 years ago on a mobilization. All military gets to go to this game for free and they really let you get up close and personal with the kids. I actually talked with Jacob Eason for awhile and told him he was making a mistake not going to Tennessee. Great game.

You may have been correct on that one. He may be looking for a new home after this season. With Fromm playing so well and Fields coming in, Eason may not be long for Athens.

Under Armour and Army All American. Any other high school all American games?

Sure appreciate the information on the game tonight. 5:00 CT/6:00 ET. ESPN2

Auburn at Lady Vols on ESPN on-line I believe at 6:00 CT

Or you could watch a replay of Kamara doing his thing against the Redskins on NFL Channel at 7 CT. Go Vols!

Peterson has All-American talent. He will start from day 1 and be a future pro bowler and hall of famer.

In all seriousness Peterson will likely be the most important commit this year unless we can pull Taylor-Stuart. We are desperate at LB and CB.

Man, Washington has been tearing it up! 3 TD's. I'm glad we offered before this game, cause I have a feeling he is going to get a lot of calls this week after this game.:rock:

I saw Paxton punt once and they didn't say for how far. Alontae was in on one touchdown. Was that it? I guess you have to be an Auburn, Ohio State, Georgia, or Bama commit to get extended playing time. Go Vols!

You should have seen some of the practices this week. On one I watched they talked to Alontae and introduced him as a Tennessee Commit before saying he actually signed with Tennessee. Then every other time they showed him they would barely mention he was a Tennessee Signee.

When they would show Griffin, Copeland or Walker they almost never mentioned Tennessee as a possibility or that we are even recruiting them.

Texas had a rough night last night. Apparently a couple of guys they wanted including 4-star outside linebacker Nik Bonitto chose Oklahoma over Texas. Is Herman struggling down there?
