“It was great being able to see a different atmosphere from any other school and being able to see the coaches in person for the first time," Tate told Volquest. "I loved it up here.”

“I was just hoping to see everything. I came in open-minded because I didn’t really know what to expect. It was my first time getting down here so I was just open-minded to everything.”

“Tennessee's offense definitely catches my eyes," Tate said. "I love when the ball is in the air. No receiver likes when the ball is on the ground so I definitely like the offense and it definitely catches my eye.”

Now that Tate's first visit to Rocky Top is in the books, he'd like to get back up to Knoxville over the summer when it's warmer and he can enjoy it more. Still, he liked what he saw. “I’d definitely like to get back to Knoxville and continue to see what it’s like," Tate said. "Not just the campus, but the city itself. Where I’m from we just think of it as mountains, but it was nice seeing downtown Knoxville.”

Part of Tate's early interest in the Vols stem from his relationship with Vols wide receivers coach Kodi Burns.

“A cool guy that I connect with and can talk to about anything," Tate said of Burns. "He’s been telling me teams with the good players win at the end of the day and they need more good players to turn the program around. And I’m a good player they could use to turn the program around.”

Tate's also liked what he's heard from Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel. More importantly for the Vols, Tate has liked what he's seen from UT's receivers this season.

“Coach Heupel is a great guy and a great offensive coach," Tate said. "To see what he did at UCF and now you can see what his receivers are doing here.”

Tennessee was the fourth school Tate saw this fall. In addition to an unofficial visit to Ole Miss, the 6-foot-2, 170-pound receiver took two visits apiece to Notre Dame and Ohio State.

Tate doesn't intend on making a decision until he's taken all five of his official visits. “I can bring a deep threat and be a jump ball guy," Tate said. "I can do it all at receiver.”

You have to like what this staff is doing in 23 Class. A lot of big time players like Tate liking what they are seeing and hearing and Knoxville with the beauty of Mountains is a wonderful place to go to school. In CHRIST Alone

He’s clearly on a visit high and likely a loooong way from doing anything, but saving this screen shot just in the event he does commit to us ans we can all complain when they drop him to a 89.

Heupel flew out and met with Herring today. Seems like he told him to help peer recruit this kid

Hopefully the Kelly to LSU eliminates Notre Dame from the equation

When mom comes, it’s serious. Hope we get him. If say if we could land one of these three QB we are going early on , I’d say he’d follow along . Think we end up with a great 23’ class . GBO
