Arie Kouandjio
DeMatha high school in Hyattsville, MD is one of the nation’s best high school football programs year in and year our. This years squad is filled with players up and down the roster who will be playing college football at football’s many divisions. However maybe the biggest recruit physically and potentially is Arie Kouandjio (Hyattsville,MD/DeMatha) who is a 6‘6 315 pound offensive tackle. VolNation.com got a chance to check in with Kouandjio and see where things currently stand with his recruiting process and his interest in the Tennessee Volunteers.
“Things are going really well right now actually, I just finished a scrimmage and we did well I think,” said Kouandjio. “The team looks good right now and I am just focusing on getting our team ready and leaving my recruiting process to after football is over.”
While Kouandjio is waiting to kick his recruiting process into gear.
“Right now I got eight schools, Alabama, Cal, Maryland, Miami, New Mexico, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Wake Forsest,” said Kouandjio. “Right now the season is starting and with most of my games are going to be on Saturdays so I am going to need to wait till after we finish our games to take officials and cut the list more than the eight I have right now.”
With Tennessee making the cut from nearly 50 scholarship offers Kouandjio spoke about the interest he has in the Vols program and the chances to land a visit from him.
“Well a big thing I like with Tennessee is the fact that I could get there and play early,” said Kouandjio. “Playing time is important for me as I am looking to get onto the field as soon as possible and at Tennessee I could play quickly. I also like the fact that they play in the SEC which is one of the best conferences in the nation. The coaching staff is looking at me to play tackle and they certainly are recruiting me really hard right now.”
With eight schools left on Kouandjio’s list and only five official visits Tennessee looks to have a shot at a visit.
“I think the chances for a Tennessee visit are good,” said Kouandjio. “I just need to sit down after the season is over like I said to nail it all down and get going.”

Arie, I hope that you choose UT to be your college of choice. Boy, do we need a super star such as yourself to help get our program back up to where it use to be. We can only do it with lots of talent and it begins with five-star players all coming to UT to get early playing time. Best of luck to you!
