As you may have noticed, I haven’t done a good job keeping the blog updated with fresh information. Luckily for the Vols, however, Butch Jones isn’t having the same problem updating Tennessee’s roster with young talent.
Jones picked up commitment number eight for the 2014 class on Wednesday, notching a commit from 4-star (Scout) Ohio tight end Ethan Wolf.
Wolf has good size, measuring 6-6, 240 and is rated 4-stars according to Scout. Rivals and 247 rate him as a 3-star prospect. He is listed on the 2014 ESPN Watch List.
Wolf tallied more than 20 offers, according to his coach, including one from Michigan State, who made a late push for his services.
Even though Wolf claims he hadn’t made a decision to give his pledge to the Vols when he packed for his trip to Knoxville this week, he was serious enough to bring along his custom hand-painted brick (pictured above, #brickbybrick).
This staff is very familiar with Wolf from their Cincinnati days and vice versa. Wolf understands Butch Jones’ system and is excited by how the tight end is utilized.
Mark Elder is his primary recruiter.
EVALUATION
According to scouting reports posted by Scout and ESPN, the analysts consider Wolf a solid blocker with a good frame who shows “tenacity” but needs to improve technique to maintain blocks. His size could mean a possible move to tackle at some point, but his good hands, speed and ability to attack and catch the football are an asset to the tight end position.
