"I do have a lot of interest in them," Owens said of Tennessee. "I have a good relationship with coach (Lance) Thompson. He knows the state of Alabama and has been in the SEC for a while. I have a lot of respect for him. He came by in the spring, which showed me that Tennessee likes me. I like their coaching staff. They are young and energetic, but they have a lot of NFL experience which is nice. I will be back up there for a game to see campus again. I liked the academics up there. There were not a lot of people up there, but it was a pretty good visit. I got to meet some of the players and saw them workout."
