If Pruitt gives him a committable offer then absolutely.
As an aside, check out his tweet

Bruh.... let your little brother have his day. Dont make it about you.
"They don't have to show me much," Otey said. "I have already talked to coach Alford and coach Johnson, so they don't have to show me much. I want to go up there and see the place and talk to the coaches."
"They have been sending me stuff about all the corners that have been drafted the last couple of years and that is a big part," Otey said. "You have got to get players in the NFL."
And has beaten UT 3 of the last 4 times they've played. These kids were, what, 6 years old the last time UT beat Arkansas?
The former Vol commit made the trip in early May with high school teammate Trey Knox and fellow 4-star corner Woodi Washington, and although Tennessees staff was out on the road recruiting that day, the visit allowed Otey to really get to know Pruitt for the first time.
I learned exactly how coach Pruitt is. Hes going to keep it straightforward with you, Otey said Sunday at the Rivals 3Stripe Camp in Nashville.
Thats what I need out of a coach. He just kept it honest and told me what I needed to do to get better. Now I can go work on it and do it.
The 5-foot-11, 182-pound corner sat in Pruitts office and watched film of his junior season, including Blackmons playoff loss to Oakland. Tennessees head coach was particularly blunt at times, but Otey appreciated the candor and feedback.
He told me that I am a player. I can play, Otey said.
He just wants me to raise my motor more and show more ball skills. He wants me to run full-speed more.
For the second straight year, both Otey and Knox earned invites to the Rivals 5-Star Challenge later this summer with solid performances Sunday. Otey continues to workout at defensive back at camps despite mainly playing quarterback for Blackmon this spring.
Im focusing more on quarterback this year because we need it, he said. We dont really have a lot of depth at that position. But during the season Ill play both ways.
Arkansas, Vandy and Louisville are among the schools currently recruiting Otey the hardest, but said he hears regularly from the Vols now, too. Pruitt invited Otey to come and camp this summer, allowing Tennessees staff to work with him 1-on-1. The in-state corner has accepted the invitation and plans on returning to campus in June.
Last year, I didnt really get tested as a corner because teams barely threw my way, Otey said.
Im going to go to a lot of places and camp this summer. Tennessee, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida State.
