Jeremy Pruitt's connections in the state of Alabama run deep. One of those connections is a 2020 four-star receiver who has been a hard commitment to LSU for the last 10 months.
Kris Abrams-Draine, from Spanish Fort, Ala., committed to the Tigers back in March, but the Tennessee head coach, and his staff, are staying in regular contact with the 6-foot, 160-pound receiver.
“I talk to them like everyday,” Abrams-Draine told GoVols247 of the Tennessee staff. The connection goes back to Pruitt’s time at Alabama. “I just have that relationship with Coach Pruitt,” Abrams-Draine said. “He’s one of my favorite coaches.” “A playmaker,” Abrams-Draine said of his game. “I can line up anywhere on the field and make plays.” Aside from Tennessee, Abrams-Draine has offers from Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi State and Ole Miss, among others.
He took an unofficial visit to Tennessee in the spring, following a visit to Arkansas in March, a couple weeks removed from committing to LSU. The Tigers offered on March 1, he visited on March 3 and committed four days later. “When I went down there it just felt like home,” Abrams-Draine said. “For real.” Abrams-Draine said “everything is good” with his commitment to LSU and his relationship with the Tigers, but he’s leaving his options open as his recruitment continues.
Moving forward, it’s Pruitt and his coaching staff — including wide receivers coach
David Johnson and safeties coach
Charles Kelly — who are pushing for a visit from Abrams-Draine. “Coach Johnson,
Charles Kelly,” he said of the coaches he’s hearing from at Tennessee. “Coach Pruitt, he’s texting me sometimes. “They want me to come back up there for a visit. I most likely will.”
