Darren Myles Jr., one of the state’s top uncommitted prospects, has an official visit scheduled for Tennesee this weekend, his father and coach said.
However, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound senior has a couple of meetings on Thursday.
“We are meeting with [Tennessee defensive coordinator]
Monte Kiffin in the morning, and then LSU’s new defensive backs coach
Ron Cooper in the afternoon,” Darren Myles Sr. said.
Kiffin followed his son,
Lane Kiffin, to Tennessee from Tampa Bay, where he helped the Bucs win the Super Bowl his second year as defensive coordinator.
Myles has already taken visits to LSU, Alabama and Purdue, his father’s alma mater. It is rumored to be an all-out battle between LSU and Alabama for Myles, but he said he has no favorites.
Myles said he will wait until signing day to make a decision but told the AJC that he is no longer considering Georgia Tech.
“I don’t want to be that close to home,” he said earlier. “I want to see what other schools have to offer.”
Last month, Myles said he removed UGA from his list of finalists because he hadn’t heard from the Bulldogs for weeks.
