Paige picks Tennessee over USC
Four-star wide receiver Ahmad Paige chose Tennessee over USC on Wednesday in a decision between the two schools that came down to the final day.
"Last night, I actually told coach [Tennessee assistant Trooper Taylor] that I was going to Southern Cal," Paige said. "But he talked me out of it. He stressed family and making sure they could see me play and that Tennessee was a great fit for me. Then I talked to some other recruits – some guys who weren't going to Southern Cal or Tennessee and that helped me see things. I just realized that Tennessee was the best place."

Everybody that goes D1 can catch a ball and hold on to it in HS. The question is can he transition to D1. Only time will tell.
