THE CASE FOR TENNESSEE
Tennessee has quietly hung around in the background throughout Sheffields recruitment. The Vols previous staff was actually the first school to offer the St. Simons native a scholarship, and the staff change actually helped Tennessee. Sheffield is close with quality control analyst Tino Sunseri, formally one of the athletes main recruiters at FSU. The two talk regularly and theres plans for Sheffield to visit the Vols with his family before making a decision. Theres no doubt Tennessee is playing catch-up behind Auburn and Ohio State, but they feel like they have a real shot if they can get the Under Armour All-American back on campus.
From Rivals:
Florida State, South Carolina and Tennessee are fighting to stay in this race, but Auburn is viewed as the frontrunner for Jashawn Sheffield. He saw close friend Owen Pappoe announce for the Tigers Tuesday night and on Monday, his best friend Jaylin Simpson committed to Gus Malzahn.
Is this more about when than if Sheffield committing to Auburn? There is no set date and he has talked about visiting a couple of schools before he commits, but this is one to keep a very close eye on maybe daily.
