2. TENNESSEE
Top-20 Georgia signees/commitments: 7
Breakdown: Navigating through a state that is owned by Georgia and which has tons of other national powers dipping in for top players could be difficult, if not impossible, but
Tennessee has done a great job landing elite players from there in the last few recruiting cycles. No one is bigger than five-star quarterback
Harrison Bailey, who could lead the charge in the Vols’ resurgence in the SEC.
But others are great additions as well like four-star offensive lineman
Wanya Morris and Tennessee is off to a hot start in the state by landing commitments from four-star running back
Cody Brown and four-star receiver
Julian Nixon.
Farrell’s take: Surprised? I am. Yes, Tennessee borders Georgi,a but you’d expect
Auburn to be here as the Tigers have had more traditional success. This speaks to the recruiting job that
Jeremy Pruitt has done and Tennessee will continue to hurt SEC programs like Georgia, Auburn and others.
