“It was a really tough decision between a lot of great programs,” Satterwhite said. “I feel like Tennessee was the underdog and I love the underdog story, so going somewhere not as well known as a Georgia or Alabama, I want to come in in a couple years and make some headlines.”
Georgia and Alabama knew all about the 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman and were in Satterwhite’s final nine along with Auburn, Cincinnati, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Clemson and Tennessee. In the end, the school that received his last official visit and one of the first schools to reach out to him got the nod.
“I like the dedication and the environment,” Satterwhite said. “The future really sticks out for me. They see me as a player that can come in early and possibly get on the field early as well and really help the offensive linemen out to hopefully get to the national championship.” William Satterwhite of Hoban chooses Tennessee over Clemson
“I just feel like the program overall is a really good fit for me,” Satterwhite told Tennessee Football Volquest shortly after his decision. “Thursday night I really felt like Tennessee was the right place for me... I just feel like the posibility to get on the field early and academics, those combined really set them apart from Clemson.” Hoban 4-star offensive lineman William Satterwhite commits to Tennessee
