"I never thought I would play in Tennessee, I figured I'd stay in Alabama," Marshall said. "The first time I got to the stadium I looked up and they had the lights on and the jumbotron on and I imagined the crowd. I went to the spring game and they were louder than some of the real games I've been to. I fell in love."
In the end, Marshall believed Tennessee was the most exciting offer and gave the Volunteers his pledge.
"I made him come in and talk to me," Etheredge said. "I asked, 'Why Tennessee?' He was like, 'Look coach, Pop's been a Tennessee fan forever. I like Tennessee, I've been up there and love the coaches. Can you imagine the way my pop's going to feel when I run out of that stadium in my Tennessee gear?' I was over there tearing up. I told him, 'You don't have to say anything else.'"
