'16 FL DE Jordan Woods (Georgia Tech commit)

A Top247 prospect who’s one of Tennessee’s longtime top wide-receiver targets, Callaway has been high on the Vols for months, and they still appear to be one of the teams to beat — if not the favorite to land him — after his official visit to Tennessee over the weekend. He’s still scheduled to visit Mississippi State and Ole Miss the next two weekends, but Tennessee undoubtedly improved its chances with Callaway on his official visit to Knoxville. Ole Miss seems to be the biggest threat, but the Vols have some momentum at this point.

I think we finish with Callaway, Warrior, Woods, Bailey x 2, and Moss...that would be 22..not a great class but needs met
 
Sorry. Thought I posted this.

Woods, a three-star prospect went to Tennessee on his first official visit in October and has been high on the Vols since then. They recently weren’t believed to be the favorites to land him, but the momentum has shifted from Miami to UT over the past couple of weeks, at least in part because of the Vols’ hiring of new tight ends coach Larry Scott, who previously recruited Woods for Miami. Woods visited Georgia Tech over the weekend, but UT still seems to be in good shape with him, and he could announce a decision as early as this week.

Fortenberry said he won't be committing this week. He implied it was Woods choice not to, not us holding him off.

This could be good for us IMO. We still have a shot at a few guys higher up on the board. If he tried to commit this week and we told him no because we're holding out for Kongbo or Simmons and they both go elsewhere, we could finish without any of them.

The closer we get to signing day, the clearer the picture will be.
 
Hypothetically, do we have room for this kid if we sign Brown and Kongbo?

Probably not. I believe it's Kongbo or Woods.Brown is separate. Now if Simmons were to decide to visit Woods probably drops to 3rd on the take list. I doubt Simmons takes that UOV. Now if they miss on all three DTs they seem to still be in play for, maybe taking Kongbo and Woods is in play.

This confuses me. In that video posted, he told the interviewer that he had already informed the staff of the school he was going to.

Why wait to announce?
