(I like) the tradition, my family going there and all the great history of Tennessee football, said Butcher, who added that most of the family on my dads side went to Tennessee.
He said hes very convinced that everythings going in the right direction for the Vols under first-year coach Butch Jones and his staff. Its just all going uphill right now,.
I just went in open-minded (during visits to other schools), just like I went into Tennessee, but none of them really matched it, Butcher said.
The first visit (to Tennessee) opened up my eyes, and the second visit was when I was ready (to commit).
I just wanted to get it out of the way so I can just focus on my schoolwork and getting better as an individual football player and getting my team better,
