Quarterbacks

 Notes
QB
 Casey Kelly FL
3
Not a real priority, but we did bring him in for a visit and he really liked it. Not sure of his interest after coaching departures. May play baseball.
 
Runningbacks

 Notes
RB
 Jeff Demps FL
4
 Speed demon that is pretty much down to UF and UT. Really liked his visit, but still gives the edge to UF. If UF wants him they likely get him.
RB
 De’Anthony Curtis AR
4
 Really liked the Vols before committing to Arky.
Has been looking around ince Nutt got fired. May visit.
RB
 Jacquese Seward TN
2
 He might not be a target, but he is an instate guy that alot of people think will get a look. I’d keep an eye on him. Very underrated.
RB
 Andre Sterling TN
NR
 Had grade issues but apparently those are cleared up and apparently UT is looking at him. Severly underrated and could be the best player in the
state.
Wide Receivers

 Notes
WR
 Deion Walker VA
4
 He said he was thinking of visiting UT in one of his last articles. We’ll see but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
WR
 Jameel Owens OK
4
 I’ve heard he is an OU lock but I heard the same about Meachem. He is a definite talent and it would be nice to keep an Oklahoma pipeline.
Offensive Lineman
Pos

*
 Notes
OL
 Antoine McClain AL
4
 Has visited numerous times and really likes UT. We are in his final 5 or 6, but it will be hard to pull him out of state.
OL
 Bobby Massie VA
4
 This monster committed to VT but is looking around to make sure it is the right choice. We are on his short list.
OL
 Kenneth Page SC
4
 A real possibility here. He visited this past weekend and loved it. I’ve heard he was really high on ND but they might not be pushing for him.
OL
 Dallas Thomas LA
3
 He is a fallback for a few teams, but CPF has really liked him from the start. We seem to be trying to hit Louisiana hard this year.
OL
 Matt Hunt CA
3
 West coast OL has shown some interest in the Vols, but, as is with most cases, it will be hard to pull him all the way to UT.
Defensive Ends
Pos

 Notes
DE
 Quinton Coples VA
4
 Great frame and loved his JV game against the Vols. If we maintain his interest, we have a really good shot.
DE
 Michael McAdoo TN
3
 Great frame and instate. He still has visits to
take so who knows what’ll happen.
DE
 Lavar Edwards LA
3
 Pretty stout DE that is underrated somewhat. Will be a Tiger if they pursue, but would be a nice land.
DE
 Andrew Wadley MS
3
 Big DE that will likely grow into a DT for us. He may be a hard pull out of Alabama if either instate school pursues.
DE
 Greg Scruggs OH
2
 How he is a 2* is a travesty. This is his first year and he’s already a stud. Lots of new offers but we still lead. Would be a huge sleeper if
we land him.
Defensive Tackles
Pos

 Notes
DT
 Stacey McGee OK
4
 A reported lock to OU but, again, check the Jameel Owens situation. He would be a huge pull.
DT
 Jeremy Lewis FL
4
 Another UM commit that visited us. He had a good time but still claims to be committed to Miami, though he is definitely thinking about things.
DT
 Brandon Thompson GA
4
 Strong specimen at DT. Is pretty wide open and may be a while before he picks a school.
DT
 Marty Everettt FL
3
 Was gushing about UT earlier in the process but has opened up his recruitment. Methinks that we aren’t making a push for him.
DT
 JoMarcus Savage AL
3
 We once led and are still in his final 3, but I don’t know how big of a priority he is now. He really likes Auburn and one of his good friends just committed to South Carolina.
DT
 Lavunce Askew AR
3
 Teammate of De’Anthony Curtis. He is also committed to Arky, but has a visit scheduled to UT.
DT
 Tony Gillespie OK
3
 Likely a fallback recruit at DT.
Linebackers
Pos

 Notes
LB
 Jerrell Harris AL
4
 Has shown some interest in the Vols but I really don’t think we have much of a shot. I think he stays in state.
LB
 Lerentee McCray FL
4
 Extremely big talent at LB. Was committed to Miami but is no longer. We were leaders, but have slipped because of the coaching departures.
LB
 Zach Brown VA
3
 Great body and speed for this Maryland commit. Visited a while back and there is a good chance that we pull him.
LB
 Gavin Hardin TN
3
 In state kid committed early to Orgeron. Is he or is he not looking around?
LB
 Kevin Reddick NC
3
 Extremely underrated and blew up in the Shrine Bowl. I’ve heard he is visiting and would be a very nice land.
LB
 Ricky Holloway TN
3
 He is instate and claims an offer but I honestly don’t know how concrete that offer is.
Cornerbacks

 Notes
CB
 Alonzo Lawrence MS
4
 Has absolutely flown up the charts since his all star performance. Doubtful we have a chance, not listed in top 3.
CB
 Josh Pleasant VA
4
 Little known recruit from Hargrave is blowing up and UT has been recruiting him for a while.
CB
 Prentiss Wagner LA
3
 Another Louisiana kid and another underrated player. He has the Vols really highly and I wouldn’t be surprised if we land him soon.
CB
 Stephaun Raines KS
NR
 This has been a weird situation and I think he is more of a fallback, but CPF may feel like we should still take him.
Safties

 Notes
SS
 Tyrone McBride NJ
3
 Related to Turk McBride but I think he is more of a fallback.
Athletes

 Notes
ATH
 Gerell Robinson AZ
4
 We aren’t listed in his top 3, but we may have a shot if he visits.
Very jumbo athlete.
ATH
 E.J. Abrams-Ward NC
4
 We are in the thick of things for E.J. but it will be hard to pull him from Butch. He really likes the Vols, though.
ATH
 A.J. Alexander PA
4
 Was committed to FSU and decommitted. We led for him, but the departures have shaken him. Who knows what he is thinking?
ATH
 Jerico Nelson LA
4
 Has interest and offers from almost every school in SEC. Plans to visit UT and is a RB/DB.
ATH
 Orhian Johnson FL
3
 High riser has a long list of offers from lesser BCS schools but also claims an offer from OSU and USF. Could be a DT QB and has a visit planned
for UT.
ATH
 Randall Cobb TN
3
 Recently offered QB from Alcoa. His coach said
the offer will definitely make him think about things.
Notes
-Don’t forget about DeMetrice
Morley and Brandon
Warren who are both at Pellissippi State trying to become eligible.
They would be a nice addition to this group but they will not count in
any recruting rankings. Also we have Gerald Williams out
there yet again trying to get qualified.
-In total it looks as if we could sign a total of between 20-23 in this
years class with the over/under being around 22.
