Ramel Keyton, one of Tennessees top wide-receiver targets in the 2019 class, now is just hours away from announcing his college decision.
The four-star junior wide receiver from Marietta (Ga.) High School is planning to make his choice known Wednesday during a ceremony at his school starting at approximately 2:45 p.m. Eastern time.
The 6-foot-3, 186-pound Keyton, who's ranked the nations No. 188 overall prospect and No. 31 wide receiver in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2019 class, is expected to choose between Tennessee and Auburn, the two schools he admitted last week were the main contenders as he prepared to announce his choice.
Ohio State, Ole Miss, Penn State and Miami also were among the top six he named several weeks ago, but he plans to choose either the Vols or Tigers.
By all indications, Tennessee is the favorite to land Keyton, who has visited the Vols six times since September 2016 and twice this year, most recently attending their spring-ending Orange and White Game on April 21.
Tennessee has been high on his list for months, and the Vols have emerged as particularly strong contenders for Keyton since he returned to Knoxville in early March for the first time since first-year coach Jeremy Pruitts hiring.
