Theres just something different about Tennessee, Warrior said before traveling to Tennessee last weekend on his fifth and final official visit. I really dont know (what it is). Its just different.
The 6-foot, 186-pound Warrior became the latest of several Vols legacies who have chosen to play for Tennessee coach
Butch Jones staff...
...Warrior said last week that Jones staff has treated me like family throughout the recruiting process.
Theyre relaxed around me, said Warrior, whos ranked the nations No. 58 overall prospect and No. 4 safety in the 247Sports Composite for the 2016 class. Theyre not being coaches around me. Even though we talk about football, theyre not being coaches.
