"It's crazy to know this class was put together just like I imagined it," Wharton said before enrolling at Tennessee last week. "A top-5 class with all these guys and I was the first one and then talking to TK and talking to all the guys and setting it up and now they are all there."
"I think it will really help out. I've really gotten stronger and I think that will help with my speed, just to be able to push through and with the quickness on top of that, too. I think it will help on the field as well, "Wharton added.
Funniest or craziest thing that happened during your recruitment?
"Probably when I first met D'Andre Payne on a visit. All weekend he was trying to figure out how he knew me and then we figured it out that we used to run track when we were little. He even remembered that I wore glasses."
What was the lightbulb moment that you knew Tennessee was the place for you?
"It was when coach Jones got the job. I always loved Tennessee, but coach Dooley didn't do a good job of recruiting me and coach Jones did a good job of recruiting me at Cincinnati and when he got the job that was it for me."
