the 6-foot-5, 350-pound mosley has been one of the vols top targets for months, and the feeling going into fridays announcement remains that tennessee is the clear favorite to land him. He has referred to ut as his leader since taking an unofficial visit to knoxville in early august, and the vols hosted him on his first official visit less than two weeks ago. Tennessee defensive line coach steve stripling is scheduled to visit mosley on friday.
Alabama has been the biggest threat to tennessee throughout mosleys recruitment and once was at the top of his list. But the vols have held the upper hand for the past four months, and it now appears a bit unlikely that the crimson tide would have a spot for him following the addition of four-star, junior-college defensive tackle jarran reed on wednesday. Alabama already has commitments from six projected offensive linemen, and the tide are close to capacity at defensive tackle after adding reed and josh frazier over the past few weeks.
