Current Commit Stats (Previous Week 10/4):
- "Helm had five catches for 75 yards in 28-7 loss to Rochester. Glenwood looks to bounce back against Lanphier." - VQ
- "Kelly had 104 yards rushing and a touchdown in a 38-14 win over Donelson. He also tallied seven tackles and had a big head that caused helmet loss. Next up is Battle Ground Academy." - VQ
- "Lambert collected four tackles in a 46-13 win over Ellsworth. Next up is Nassau." - VQ
- "Medley was four of five on PATs and went six for six on kickoffs for touchbacks. Next up is CPA." - VQ

- "Defense was the name of the game as Tampa Catholic took the win over Frostproof 21-16 Friday. Star of the stat-sheet was Tennessee 2015 linebacker commitment Cecil Cherry. Cherry was all over the field making plays, totaling nine tackles, a forced fumble, and sacked the Crusaders quarterback to give Frostproof a safety. He also had a rushing touchdown." - Scout
Current Commit News:
- "Yup, we talked about it tonight and he assured me he's going to be an early enrollee. I was under the assumption he wouldn't know for sure until December but he said everything has checked out and he's good to graduate this December." - Fortenberry on Weatherd
- Payne being an EE is "up in the air" now per Fortenberry.
- "He's not playing for Blinn. Some say he was dismissed from the team. Others suggest it's a misunderstanding. Right now, I would lean towards him not being a Vol." - Hubbs on Kameel Jackson
- Dontavius Blair commits to Tennessee
- Derek Barnett commits to Tennessee
- "I think with Paulk's ACL injury that could end up being a possibility." - Fortenberry on the idea of Paulk greyshirting
OLine Recruiting:
- Dontavius Blair commits to Tennessee
- "Good player that the Vols have been recruiting hard. I always kind of thought the Vols wanted either Blair or Gennesy, whoever jumped first. But that's been my opinion. Gennesy likes the Vols a good bit." - Hubbs on Avery Gennesy
- "Several on the board this week asked about offensive lineman Avery Gennesy and the junior college offensive lineman and the vibe is there's some serious interest from both parties as the Vols need more help on the offensive line, even with the Blair commitment, and there is ample amounts of playing time at tackle next year. The two parties continue to talk and while it's not clear how or if he could fit or even want in right now, there definitely some mutual interest right now." - VQ
- JUCO Chad Mavety told scout he wants to visit "later this month"
RB Recruiting:
- "Hard to see them not taking three backs now with Paulk's season-ending injury." - Fortenberry
- "They are very interested in the Jarvis Stewart kid down in Florida that is committed to USF. That's one we're watching as well." - Fortenberry
- Derrell Scott had a good visit. The atmosphere was great, and the visit helped UT. Talked to CBJ and Coach G the most. Hung out with Kendall Vickers (former teammate). Top 3 of UT, Scar, and NCSt (no order).
- "There's a juco out in California, Greg Garmon. He played at Iowa for a year and is now just taking classes at a juco and is basically redshirting so he can have three years left. They are looking at him." - Fortenberry
- "With Tennessee likely needing to take another running back in this class Judd is a guy a lot of people are watching right now. Tennessee has continued to recruit him very hard over the past several weeks. He's not the only back the Vols are looking at at the moment but Tennessee has a good deal of momentum here right now with Judd." - VQ
WR Recruiting:
- Lauderdale said he will pick from Miami, Washington, Arizona State, and Florida. Still considering UT now.
- Travis Rudolph said he loved everything about his visit. Loved the atmosphere. Says Azzanni contacts him a lot and says he can see himself being coached by Azzanni. Nobody is out in front. Has 3 more visits to take. Will decide at the Under Armour game.
- I was hanging out with Curt Maggitt. He was my host, Rudolph said. I mean, we grew up together. Finally getting back in touch with him being on a visit, it was really cool to hang out with him. Two players from Rudolphs hometown being at Tennessee wont be a major factor in his college choice, he said, but it definitely plays a key role in it. - 247
- JUCO Lavon Pearson will OV for the USC game with his parents.
- Josh Malone decision date - "I'm told he will be announcing his decision on Dec. 4 in a ceremony at his high school. It's still Tennessee, Georgia and Clemson in the mix, with Florida State and likely Florida getting visits later in the fall. FSU and Florida are considered long shots because of the distance factor." - Woody Wommack
- Braxton Berrios commits to Miami. Says UT was #2
DB Recruiting:
- "DJ Smith didn't make it back up. He could official visit here later down the road I think." - Fortenberry
- "Quick recruiting note on Adoree Jackson... Don't be surprised if it comes out that Adoree Jackson will be officially visiting Knoxville for the Auburn game. Talked to some close to him and that looks to be the case. LSU, Florida and Oregon probably the other three after his Oklahoma visit this past weekend to round out his five." - Fortenberry
- Adoree Jackson had a great visit to Oklahoma. Says hes ready to see LSU's defense, and their new spread offense on his visit. Says he likes that UT is close to home and knows he can be an impact player. Has a good relationship with UT coaches and likes how Butch is turning the program around. "It's just the way he is, honestly. He has that demeanor to win and that's what people want," Jackson said. "Now he's doing good things at Tennessee."
- Rob Lewis said hes been hearing UT has a lot of momentum with Emmanuel Smith. Rob also said, "what will be interesting is to see if Vols end up having room for him if he indeed decides he wants to flip."
LB Recruiting:
- JUCO Dejon Brown holds a UT offer and will OV to the Vandy game
- "Chatted with Clifton Garrett tonight about his official visit to Tennessee this weekend. Big key here was that his parents were along, and sounds like dad hit it off with Coach Thigpen. All in all, very good vibe from Clifton coming out of the visit" - Josh H for Rivals in IL
- "Right now it looks like Florida and Tennessee are in the best position for Morgans final two officials." - Wiltfong on Nyles Morgan
DLine Recruiting:
- Every time I get down there, I just get more and more excited about getting back down there, Mosley said. Me and Coach Jones are still building a great relationship and all that, and Im really just liking Tennessee, man. Its hard not to like it. You go down there and see great games like Ive been to, its just hard not to fall in love with it. - 247
- Charles Mosley is trying to visit Auburn, UGA, and Ole Miss before the end of the season. He is going to take all of his OV's after his HS season, and then he will decide.
- "Yes, he made it in with his mother and father and we've heard he had a really good time and now the Vols could be in line for an official down the road." - Fortenberry on Andrew Williams
- "I think Tennessee got back in it with Andrew this weekend with both of his parents making it back up to Tennessee. Now, is it enough to get an official visit and then they still have to pass up Auburn, Clemson and probably GT (where his brother plays) would likely be the next step." - Fortenberry on Andrew Williams
- Its still pretty even, Hendrix said, but Tennessees kind of out there for me a little bit.
- "He was at Vanderbilt's game this past weekend. I think Tennessee has some good momentum here and with the way things are at Vanderbilt right now with so many questions surrounding that program, I think Tennessee's trending in a very good direction with Barnett right now." - Fortenberry
- Im leaning towards Tennessee for one (official) and then with Louisville and Ohio State, it will probably be a tossup between those two. I think it would be between the Notre Dame one and the Kentucky one. - Matt Elam
- Fortenberry says the coaches are talking to Matt Elam, but nothing serious seems to be happening.
- Fortenberry on Jihad Ward - "Tennessee is still talking with him. I think he's a little further down the board just because he's seen as a project. If he had all four years to play I think someone would take a chance ok him because of his size and athleticism but just having two years to play it may not be enough time to develop him."
- Andrew Williams top 6 in no order - ND, Ole Miss, Auburn, Clemson, USCe, UT
- Derek Barnett commits to Tennessee
- "The Vols are still involved Abu Lamin and Auburn could be the game we see him on campus. Lance McDowell, Calvin Heurtelou and Jarran Reed are all names floating out there as well about a few making it in as well." - VQ
- Calvin Heurtlou will visit for the Auburn game
ATH Recruiting:
- Tez Parks - Auburn on top. FSU, NCSt, GT, UT round out top 5. Wants to visit UT again.
2015 Recruiting:
- "Tennessee is evaluating Sills but I think there are several guys ahead of him on the board right now. I think he's very interested in Tennessee right now so we will see what happens." - Fortenberry on QB David Sills
- NC OL Mason Veal set to visit for USC game
- NC ATH Carl Tucker - UT and UNC are his top 2, no order. Visiting for UT-Barn
- You know you always have to have a backup plan, but Im going to follow Coach Jones wherever he goes. (Linebackers coach Tommy) Thigpen, I love him, and (running backs) coach (Robert) Gillespie and the whole defensive staff, I just love it. I love the atmosphere, I love how the city is, and I love how the fans are behind their players, win or lose. - Cecil Cherry
- Cecil Cherry visiting for Auburn game. Will also visit Alabama for UT game
- Vols offer MS WR Dontae Jones
- NC RB Rocky Reid says he's hearing from UT
- Dylan Jackson visited for the UGA game and said he spent time with Coach Jake and Coach Strip. Hung out with some 2015 commits and enjoyed seeing the camaraderie
- GA LB Roquan Smith was blown away by his visit to UGA game
- TN LB Josh Smith likes the confidence that Butch Jones plays with. Loved the atmosphere of the UGA game. Loved the Smokey jerseys.
- TN DB Cameron Ordway loved his visit. Coach Martinez told him he needs to gain some weight
- FL LB Dominic Sheppard says Tennessee offered this summer and he likes the fact that the Vols play in the SEC. UM is his childhood favorite and dream school. Says ND and UT are recruiting him the hardest.
- If I had to pick a top five, it would probably be Auburn, Tennessee, UCLA, Ole Miss and South Carolina, said Roquan Smith, who holds offers from all five teams, along with Mississippi State, Kentucky and Syracuse. Thats in no order.
2017 Recruiting:
- TN RB Maleik Gray - Honored to have a UT offer. Loved the UGA game atmosphere. Had a great time time at the game. Has camped at UT a few times and went to the Bama game last year. The crowd noise gave him goose bumps and he really enjoyed touring the facilities. Florida St is "dream offer." Winning is the most important thing he looks for. Likes Vandy as well. Believes CBJ is going to turn around UT. Thig is lead recruiter.
Other Notes:
- UT will play VATech at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016
- Posey and Dallas decide to leave the team.
- Justin Meredith's career is over. He nis now helping Elder coach the TEs
