“We went to coach Pruitt’s office, me and my family, and we were talking and he gave me an offer. It was great, especially coming from a head coach,” Solomon said.
“They love me at punt returner and cornerback. They love my speed. I clocked a 4.41 at Duke’s camp last summer. My fastest is a 4.36 at my school.”
Solomon is a track star at Socastee Hi, clocking a 10.7-second time in the 100-meters. He played corner, receiver, tailback and returner, housing multiple kicks for touchdowns during his senior season with the Braves. Despite taking official visits to Louisville and Rutgers, Solomon’s unofficial trip to Tennessee sealed the deal in his recruitment. Solomon is slated to blueshirt with Tennessee.
“They don’t look at stars,” he said.
“They saw my speed, my highlights and that’s why they liked me. They’re not worried about what rank I am in the nation. I like the fact they saw my stars and didn’t care. They judged my highlights. That’s a why I like them.”
