Not an insider but I spoke with a member of Corley's family today. They said it was a 3 team race. OSU, Michigan, and Tennessee. They mentioned that Harbaugh messed up recently saying that the kid had 24 hours to make his decision or Michigan was moving on. Apparently that did not go over well.
It was also mentioned that Corley and the family really like Butch. I came away thinking it was an OSU Tennessee race.
Definitely a beast. Sounds like we may lead which is awesome! I can't believe Harbaugh actually told him that, sounds like a overly aggressive recruiter, who intimidates kids into committing when they're not ready.
Chances are highest if he EEs IMO. The OSU best visit comment was interesting because I know he loved his visit to Tennessee. I know he has strong feelings for Tennessee and has for a long time. The question is, are they the strongest of any team in his recruitment? My gut feel is that Tennessee is close, but probably not the top team right now so I don't think they would be the pick. That's just my feel, though, not based on anything specific I have been told. If he does pick Tennessee I would not be shocked because they are definitely in that top three right now and have been a favorite for a long time.
On offense this fall, Corley had 59 receptions for 1,403 yards and 16 touchdowns. On defense, he had 90 tackles and 10 interceptions, including one returned for a score. He was the leading receiver on a King team that went 14-0 and has over a dozen players going on to play at the next level.
...His biggest play of the season came on his final play of his high school career, catching a 40-yard pass in the end zone as time expired to beat Lowell, 40-38, in the Division 2 state championship. The play caught fire on social media and gained national attention, even earning the No. 1 spot on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays.
