Tennessee landed one of its top defensive-back targets Thursday afternoon. Four-star cornerback Damarius McGhee of Pensacola (Fla.) Catholic High School confirmed to GoVols247 that he has committed to the Vols, addressing one of their major needs with a top-100 prospect nationally.


The 6-foot-1, 163-pound McGhee gave Tennessee its 24th known commitment for the 2021 class and became the second projected cornerback in the Vols' class, choosing them over Ole Miss, Georgia, Alabama and Miami, along with scholarship offers from at least 25 other schools.


McGhee is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 89 overall prospect and No. 8 cornerback in the 2021 class and the No. 12 rising senior from the state of Florida.


He said he informed Tennessee defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley of his decision Thursday afternoon.


The Vols extended an offer to him on July 31, 2019, and have made him one of their top priorities in the secondary over the past several months. He admitted last month that Tennessee and Ole Miss were the two schools recruiting him hardest.

"My mom loved coach Pruitt and coach Ansley," McGhee said. "They reached out when we lost my grandmother and checked on us. I told her I wanted to go to Tennessee and she said that was the decision that she would have made so that made me feel good about my decision."

The relationships that McGhee made with Jeremy Pruitt and Derrick Ansley made a huge impression on him and his family. There were zoom meetings and talks on the phone. That left a feeling of McGhee getting his potential realized in Knoxville.

"I could feel myself playing for coach Pruitt," McGhee said. "When they offered me they wouldn't stop. They were always recruiting me and my entire family. I like their style. I did a lot of meeting stuff with hem and I liked that."
This recruitment has been one that Ansley has spent a lot of time on and it's a relationship that McGhee has cherished. When he called Ansley on Thursday morning, the excitement was clear in his voice and in Ansley's reaction.
"He's a real one," McGhee said. "He was excited when I called him. I was like I want to commit and he was was crazy excited. It was funny. I just know he will take care of me up there. I was supposed to take an official and it hadn't happened because Covid. It's made it hard, but I feel like I have a good peace with my decision."

So what does McGhee do well on the field? He loves to play physical and use his athleticism.
"I'm a man to man corner," McGhee said. " I like press and I like to get my hands dirty. Anything that my team needs I do it. I love special teams. I feel like schools kick it away from me, but I feel like if they kick to me it's a touchdown every time."
