Well, to be fair, here are some quotes from the 247 site:
"There's a couple, a lot of the SEC schools I really like - Georgia, Tennessee and Arkansas," he said. "Georgia was awesome. Coach Richt is awesome and coach [John] Lilly is the man. When I was checking it out I felt really comfortable with everything. It set the bar, so we'll see." -4 days ago
"I mean, I love Georgia. I really do. Im going down there for a visit next week."- 14 days ago
Says he will be making a college decision before his senior season starts, so likely in the Summertime.I was really excited about (the offer), I know, obviously, Tennessee is one of when you think of, like, 15 big-time schools in college football, theyre definitely up there just in terms of success. I mean, I know the last couple years, they havent been great for Tennessee football. But in terms of, overall, what theyve done in the history of college football, theyre right up there in the top of the SEC in terms of wins and national championships. I was really excited about the fact that I could pick up an offer from them.
They see the offense Im in now at Avon, where I moved around a lot to different positions, in terms of the slot, being in a three-point stance, splitting out wide. He says thats kind of the direction they kind of want to go at Tennessee in terms of their tight ends, and they just signed a great tight end, Daniel Helm, in 2014, (Elder) kind of said there are similarities in what we both can do, and the tight-end position at Tennessee, its going to be something special in terms of how they can use us in different ways.
I mean, Tennessees definitely going to be up there, he said. Its just kind of what Coach Elder told me about the school. They have a 102,000(-seat) stadium. I think it is the biggest stadium in the SEC. The fans are awesome. Hes told me a lot of really good things about them, so theyre definitely a school I like.
He is our top TE target for '15. Likes Elder a lot and has a good relationship with him. Admires Jason Witten, says coaches compare him to Jason. Likes the idea of playing in the SEC. UGA being the first to offer was big for him. Will not attend any junior days this spring.
Scout.com: 'Rare breed' TE coveted by Vols
te chris clark, avon (conn.) avon old farms (from nr to no. 176)
"few players have seen their recruitment blow up like clark over the past two months and it is well deserved. The 6-foot-6 clark is a rivals250 underclassmen challenge alum, but has shown a lot of progress since then. He added a lot of strength and is more explosive in the open field. Clark is not only a solid receiver, but can also block like a throwback tight end. The added strength has helped clark's ability to stay engaged and generate push when taking on defensive linemen." - adam friedman
