“It was better than what I expected. I didn't know the facility was that great and the stadium was that big. And the way the fans carried them through the win, it was great.” Legette is playing quarterback this season at Mullins, but he’s being recruited to play wide receiver or defensive back in college. He said first-year Tennessee coach
Jeremy Pruitt’s staff told him during Saturday’s visit “that I can play any position I want,” but Pruitt specifically mentioned wide receiver — Legette’s preferred position — along with the possibility of using him as a wildcat quarterback. “He said he knows that I’m a wide receiver, but he still wants me to play a little bit of quarterback if I come there,” Legette said. “Tennessee is the only school that’s told me that. I’ll take that. I’d love to do it."
He said he arrived at Tennessee “kind of early” Saturday and “toured around the campus and the new facility,” and he was excited by everything the Vols have to offer. “I like how they have the dorms set up,” Legette said. “You don’t have to share a room with anyone. You can have your own room. It’s way bigger. It’s way bigger,” Legette said of Tennessee. “It’s more stuff to experience than South Carolina — the city and the campus. When I was there, I rode around a little bit after the game.”
“Most of the coaches on the staff were texting me (last week) saying that they really like how I play and I need to get up to Tennessee,” he said. “They want me to commit. But I told them I’m going to wait it out and see about all of my options, because I know there’s more offers coming, so I’m going to wait it out. “They said I’m a big priority for them. They said they want me up there bad.”
“I want to go back, but I don’t really know if I’ll be able to,” Legette said. “They wanted me to come this weekend, but I won’t be able to make it. But after the season’s over — because this weekend coming, it’s their last home game — I’ll probably come back up, just to come up and chill with the players some.”
