Logged two 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecasts in favor of Tennessee on Tuesday morning for a couple dynamic offensive players.
I joined the trend regarding Memphis (Tenn.) Lausanne Top247 running back Eric Gray which already included GoVols247 insider Ryan Callahan. Also made the forecast for Charlotte (Tenn.) West Mecklenburg Top247 receiver Khafre Brown.
If you follow the visits, that alone points to Knoxville for both who have been to Neyland several times this fall. A source with knowledge of both recruitments told 247Sports he felt good about where the Vols stood as well.
Gray is currently committed to Michigan but hasn't been back to Ann Arbor since his June visit. The 247Sports Top247 Player Rankings bills him as the nation's No. 1 all-purpose back and No. 85 prospect overall. The No. 2 recruit in the state, Gray has been a dominant player on Friday nights over the last three seasons. As a senior he's gone for 2,499 yards and 40 touchdowns, averaging over 10 yards per carry through 12 games. As a junior in 13 contests he went for 3,151 yards and 45 touchdowns.
Tennessee wants a blazer at receiver in this class and Brown is a priority target. He's run 10.7 in the 100-meter dash. As a senior he's caught 44 passes for 705 yards and eight touchdowns.
The Vols are currently sitting on the nation's No. 15 recruiting class per the 247Sports Composite.
