Going to be awfully tough pulling him out of his home state following consecutive Nattys by UGA, five first-round defensive players drafted last year, and likely two more this year.

Not to mention the NIL numbers they must be throwing at a local kid.

I never liked the term natty. Really dislike it now.

These numbers are astounding to me…for anyone…let alone a 17 year old…

It’s a similar reaction I feel when I see the winning times at the Ironman in Kona…dudes running 6 minute miles for a full marathon after doing the equivalent of two marathons prior to that…the human body never ceases to amaze me

5-star linebacker Sammy Brown is in town today and tomorrow as he continues his tour of campuses. He is insistent he will take all five officials in June and we believe the Vols are in line to get one. Tennessee will have to play catch up in our mind as Clemson and Georgia seem to have more momentum as of now.

On his visit…

Felt this weekend was important for the Vols moving forward, and the visit went very well. Sammy got to spend both days reconnecting and talking about life with Heupel and BJM. He’s been in the process a long time, but this weekend was unique to him in the aspect he got all of the attention as he was the only guy there. He also got to meet more of the staff that he wasn’t as familiar with and this was important to him. He will be back to Tennessee for an official visit sometime around Memorial Day. Oklahoma, Georgia and Clemson are the others that are going to get an OV. July decision timeline. Fwiw, he hears the different narratives out there about him, regarding which school may lead because of whatever various connection he has to them, and he remains pretty impartial on if there is any sepraration between the schools. He plans to use the OVs to nail down his final decision.

“It was really cool,” Brown said of the weekend visit. “Just catching up was most of what this visit was. We talked a little bit about football but not much. We hung out both days, and it was really good to just be able to catch up.”

Brown was the only recruit on campus during the visit, which allowed him to spend plenty of quality time with the Tennessee staff, especially inside linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary.

“It was different,” Brown said of this experience. “It was really just me there and some of the coaches. It was cool to actually catch up with all of the coaches, and not just a position coach and some other recruits. It was nice to be around all of the coaches. It was cool to just have that one-on-one time.”

Brown has frequently found himself having one-on-one time with Josh Heupel when he makes it to campus, and this weekend was no different. They also took in Saturday’s baseball game together.

“I think almost every time we have gone up there, we have been able to have some one-on-one time with him,” Brown said of Heupel. “It is mostly just catching up, and not a lot about recruiting or my decision. He is very down to earth, so a lot of it is just how things have been. It was mostly just how everything has been, how the recruitment process has been and how my family has been. There was not a lot about football, but we still got some in there.”

“I would say it definitely built on what I knew about Tennessee,” Brown said. “Especially just being able to build a relationship with all of the coaches, I would say it definitely helped.”

During his time spent with the coaches, Brown was also able to lock in an official visit date with the Vols. “Beforehand, we were definitely hoping to take an official visit to Tennessee, but now I think we have a date locked in around Memorial Day weekend,” Brown said on this. Brown also plans to use official visits to Oklahoma, Georgia and Clemson before making a decision sometime in July.

If we get the first official, it’s gonna be tough to keep momentum.

I would think he pretty much knows where he will go, even without the officials. He's visited the front runners multiple times. I think on the official, he will try and nail down the NIL particulars.

I think we’re in better shape than people realize. He’s been on campus 6 times. That doesn’t happen if there isn’t significant interest in my opinion. I think it’s legitimately a 3 way tie or at the very least a 2 way with one slightly out of the top 2. This kid doesn’t seem like the kind of dude to take an OV just to post pictures of himself in a school’s jersey on social media. From the little bit of info that’s been reported on him it sounds like his heart could be at Tennessee, but he needs to see a more consistent sample size that we can develop LBs at a high level
