He will be another steal for a team but he should have came back. Wasn't he looking for 7 figures to come back though?

He most likely comes off the board in the 6th.

Could easily fall to the 7th or out of the draft completely. For whatever reason, most pundits did not give him a high grade.

I hate it for him, and hope he goes soon, but the draft can be a real crap shoot for some players.

Love the positive publicity 🍊🍊🍊
2. Ranked fifth in the team recruiting rankings, Tennessee has been the biggest surprise so far this cycle.

Gorney’s take: FACT. Not only has Tennessee landed commitments from some outstanding prospects - including in-state defensive standouts Trevor Duncan, Nathan Robinson and especially Caleb Herring along with five-star California quarterback Nico Iamaleava - but the Vols are seriously involved with some of the other best prospects in the 2023 class.
Francis Mauigoa is seriously looking at Tennessee, five-star receiver Carnell Tate has the Vols among his top schools, former commit Tony Mitchell is re-engaged with that staff and then Branden Strozier and Chandavian Bradley has Tennessee toward the top of the list. This is a team that hasn’t won 10 games in over a decade but there is significant momentum with Josh Heupel taking over. Ranked fifth in the team rankings, it has been an impressive start that might only get better for the Vols.

Lammers’ take: FICTION. Quite frankly I am not all that shocked to see Tennessee ranked where it is. The Vols had positive momentum coming out of the 2021 season, especially with that offense. Then you land someone like Nico Iamaleava to be the headliner of your class early in the following recruiting cycle, which helps draw others to Knoxville and you have the perfect ripple effect if you are the Volunteers. The coaching staff's ability to connect with prospects is something that also consistently comes up when talking with recruits and the Tennessee brand of course still holds strong. Add all that up in addition to the new landscape of college football recruiting with NIL and I would actually be more surprised if Tennessee wasn't high up in the rankings.
