'19 GA ATH Owen Pappoe (Auburn signee)

Five-star linebacker Owen Pappoe, an Auburn commitment from Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., headlined the list of prospects in attendance for Saturday’s game. Pappoe accompanied teammate Wanya Morris, the five-star Tennessee offensive tackle commitment, in making the trip to Knoxville. Pappoe has visited the Vols a number of times, so he already was plenty familiar with Tennessee. But his latest visit served as a clear indication of the momentum the Vols already seemed to be building with him.

While 247Sports’ Keith Niebuhr reported Sunday that Auburn’s coaches, according to sources, think there’s a good chance Pappoe will stick with the Tigers as long as their staff survives, sources have told GoVols247 that there’s increasing optimism surrounding Tennessee’s chances of stealing away Pappoe. Morris and his family have been in Pappoe’s ear about the Vols, and he’s now giving Tennessee legitimate consideration. Another of Pappoe’s Grayson teammates, four-star Texas defensive back commitment Kenyatta Watson, also is being pursued by the Vols.

It’s still going to be a battle for Pappoe down the stretch, but there’s a real chance Tennessee could host him on an official visit in the coming weeks. And Tennessee now appears to be the biggest threat to the Tigers going into the final weeks of his recruitment.

“The Loganville (Ga.) Grayson standout has been a verbal to Auburn since May, but at the very least Tennessee is going to make this one difficult for Gus Malzahn and his staff. One source believes the Vols have pulled to 50/50 with their SEC counterpart, and of course you still have Georgia laying in the weeks for the in-state standout as well. Pappoe has a strong relationship with the Auburn staff but he’s obviously listening to others as time to put pen to paper nears.”

It’s been said before but don’t be surprised to see Pruitt become agressive in recruiting.

We lead for Brown & Wright. (That’s if Pruitt decides to take Brown.) Morris isn’t a threat to flip.

Pappoe is definitely interested in the Vols thanks to Pruitt and his staff. Morris has a bigger impact on his recruitment more than you think. Also keep in mind Pruitt spoke to Pappoe moments before he committed to Auburn. He’s not going to stop recruiting him until he’s a Vol on NSD.

Not an insider but I’m very confident we’ll actually land the players we want in this years class.

If we just 3 out of the 8 elite players we seem to be in on here at the end, it will be a great class.
