After getting four-star offensive tackle Alan Posey of Athens, Ga., in May, Derek Dooley knew he needed to set about finding a bookend to go along with him.
Tennessee is in desperate need of offensive line help for the future, so the Vols have to be happy to hear they made a strong impression on three-star OT Zach DeBell during his weekend visit.
DeBell, of Tarpon Springs, Fla., told ESPN.com recruiting blogger Corey Long he's added Tennessee to Ole Miss, Notre Dame, UCLA, South Carolina and Georgia on his short list of schools. He'd like to visit UCLA and Notre Dame again before making his decision around mid-season. Another visit to Ole Miss could be a possibility, as well.
Dooley is going to strike while he can, but there's no doubt he'd rather be hearing from the top recruit in his own state, No. 5 OT Antonio Richardson. But the four-star from Nashville is being courted heavily by Nick Saban, and the decision could come down to the wire.
