Don't think he even holds an offer from us yet. Imagine that will change soon, though.

 

[Coach Punk]

Memphissippi is really putting out some talent these days. Glad to be going after West Tennessee again.

If that kids 230lbs then Crouch may already be closing on 250lbs....

 

[bigl3327]

This kid has to be around 6'4". Crouch is jacked for someone who's supposed to still be in high school. I think we're about to see a major change in the look of our team physically.

One prospect who visited Tennessee last weekend on an unofficial visit was Jakivuan Brown. Brown is a tight-end from Lake Horn, Mississippi.

“I liked the atmosphere and facilities. It was great meeting with coach Pruitt. It was my first time talking to him,” Brown said.

Brown doesn’t have an offer at this point, but Tennessee made it clear that he’s on their radar.

“They like how I play fullback and catch balls,” Brown said. “Coach Pruitt wants to see me running routes more as a tight end. Wants to see more in the passing game.”

Brown has offered from Oregon, LSU, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Baylor. Some of those schools are recruiting Brown as an outside linebacker, but Tennessee likes him as an offensive player.

Horn Lake (Miss.) prospect Jakivuan Brown earned an invite to the Opening Finals after dominating drills and running a 4.64 40-yard dash and jumping 36 inches at 6-foot-3, 225-pounds. The former tight end turned 3-star linebacker holds 10 offers, including from LSU, Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Vols have yet to pull the trigger.

“Absolutely I want a Tennessee offer,” Brown said.

“I haven’t heard from them in a little while. Maybe since March.”

Brown visited Tennessee in February for a Junior Day and immediately started liking the Vols. He toured campus, saw the facilities and had a chat with head coach Jeremy Pruitt and Tracy Rocker and got to know area recruiter Will Friend better.

“I loved Tennessee. The visit was like home. It was like, ‘I could see myself up there,’” he said.

“I know what I’d have to do. Can’t be late for practice. Classes are right close to the dorms. I loved it.”

Brown believes Sunday’s performance will “definitely” boost his stock. Will Tennessee and others come calling? Might it be too late?

Brown has a Top 3 consisting of the two in-state schools plus LSU and said, “Ole Miss is pushing heavy. Mississippi State is, too.

“But right now I’m just going through the process. I’m supposed to be taking a visit up to Mississippi State later this month or June, maybe. I’m going to commit before August starts.”
