Top247 running back Peyton Lewis' affinity for Tennessee came long before the Vols offered a scholarship, and long before the Salem (Va.) High standout was a college football prospect. He and his family vacationed in Pigeon Forge and also Gatlinburg and the memories from it were strong and meaningful. So although 6-foot, 190-pound Lewis grew up in Virginia Tech’s backyard, it was the Vols who long had his attention. He announced his decision Saturday during a visit to campus, but the decision was made long before then.

“We used to stay in a log cabin resort in the mountains,” Lewis said. “We stayed there a lot. We went on mountain coasters and the strip where all the crazy building are, and it didn’t seem real to me the first time I went to Tennessee.”

It became the vacation destination spot for Lewis and his family. “I kind of fell in love and then after that we went back, back, back,” he said. “People usually go to the beach or wherever. We went to Tennessee and we loved it. At the end of the day, it’s a place I love, a place that my parents love. It’s somewhere I feel like my potential will not be wasted and I can also get a great education and also play football. Seems like the perfect utopia for me.”

Great feedback Peyton.

With Seldon last year, and now Lewis, there seems to be a winning formula there with VA kids and what Knoxville has to offer.

Virginia and South Carolina both have hidden talent year after year. Glad we're getting reconnected to that in Virginia.
There's about two more kids i want there too, but I'll be happy just getting Lewis
