There doesn’t appear to be quite as much optimism regarding Tennessee’s chances of landing four-star running back
Noah Cain of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. Sources close to Cain’s recruitment have said Penn State and Texas remain the favorites to land him as he prepares to announce his decision at 11:30 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday on ESPN in a ceremony that will be held at The Star in Frisco, Texas, headquarters for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
Tennessee made a good first impression on Cain during his official visit to Knoxville over the weekend, and he seemed to be intrigued by his opportunity with the Vols. One of his IMG teammates, Tennessee offensive line commitment
Chris Akporoghene, has continued to recruit him for the Vols. But sources have indicated it would be a major upset if he chooses the Vols on Wednesday. Penn State still is widely viewed as the favorite to land Cain, but a source said Texas hasn’t given up on him and remains a factor as he prepares to announce his decision.
