Lol. Jokes on you. We're going to ask Mays to walk on, and when he says no and goes elsewhere, we'll take 0. That way, we can take 12 to 14 O linemen in next year's class and pull 6 or 7 QBs in this class. Pure. Genius.

“It's home,” Ollie said. “It's where I grew up. It's been a dream of mine in the making. It's very exciting for me.”

After another day on campus Saturday, the Lane family left Tennessee's practice with a decision in hand. Parents Chris and Barbara Lane knew it but never said it. Ollie had known it for several weeks, and in the 20-minute car ride back to Corryton, Ollie told his parents he was done and that he would spend his next four years in Orange and White.

“He knew, but we never pushed,” Barbara said. “When I think (how) I can be there in 20 minutes it's a great feeling. I couldn't be happier.

“We are so excited. The process has been great. I have had a lot of people ask me how hectic has it been, and all I can tell you is that it's been a great kind of hectic. It's been so fun. Knowing that he's going to be here is an amazing feeling. He has had this in his heart for a long time and we are very, very excited.”

Following any on campus trip or visit by a coach to the high school, Ollie would write a thank you note to the coaches who he spent time with. It's a gesture that Chris said his mother passed on to him and his sons. It's one that's surprised many college coaches around the country in the last nine months.

“I just want them to know how much it meant to me,” Ollie offered. “When I go different places and they show me great hospitality, I want them to know how much I appreciate their time and the respect I have for their program. I just want them to know how important it was to me that they would take the time to visit with me.

“I will get a couple of texts from coaches after I seen them. Some coaches have told me that it shows what kind of a man that I am and they really appreciate it. It's something my parents taught me. Just be polite and let them know how I feel. I don't think anything says that better than a thank you card.”

So it's fitting that it's a letter Lane wrote as a high school freshman forecasted his college future. And it's why today, the Lane family chalkboard — which has featured drawn logo's of every school that has offered — now features just a Power T.

Ollie Lane, who will enroll at mid-term, has found Rocky Top to be his home thanks to a community and a football family that has made him who he is, pushing him to turn a dream into a reality.
