my coaches told me not to commit right away on my first visit, but tennessee is everything i thought it was going to be[.] was really just looking for the atmosphere. The only thing that would have kept me from coming to tennessee would have been if the atmosphere would have been bad and everything. It was amazing for me to see how close this team is, how they stick together, even through all those bad things that happened. That was pretty great for me to see.
the team and the coaching staff, its, like, a real family type of atmosphere, he said. the fan base is really amazing. To be struggling all throughout the season and youve still got 97,000 people coming to their game, thats incredible. I wasnt really looking for the biggest stage. Its really just the atmosphere with the coaches and in the locker room. If you watched the game, there was never a point where the team got at each others throats. When the defense was on the field, the offense was standing on the sideline supporting the defense and the other way around, so that was exciting for me to see.
im going to take my other visits to check those other schools out, he said. but tennessee, they made a really strong point. Just that feeling on campus and the atmosphere, its amazing. I dont really think anything else can compare to that.
