Georgia linebacker JJ Peterson picks Vols over Bama, Georgia


QuoteFour-star outside linebacker JJ Peterson of Colquitt County in Moultrie, Ga., picked Tennessee over Alabama and Georgia in a live announcement during the U.S. Army All-American Game on Saturday.

The 6-foot-1.5, 210-pound Peterson is the No. 2 rated outside linebacker in the nation, according to the 247 composite rankings. He also is the No. 8 player in Georgia and the No. 44 player in the nation.

Peterson played for former Hoover coach Rush Propst at Colquitt County.

Peterson is the highest rated 2018 commitment for new Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt, who is still coaching Alabama's defense through Monday's CFP championship game.

Very big get for Pruitt. I've been very surprised at how well he's done thus far recruiting for UT while coaching at the dump school.

He is after a lot of Juco also. Guy wants to win soon

In-state, 3-star LB Matthew Flint flips from Tennessee to North Carolina


QuoteMadison County senior, three-star linebacker Matthew Flint has decommitted from Tennessee, pledged to North Carolina and will enroll for the spring semester, Tigers coach Scott Sharp confirmed this morning.

The 6-foot, 215-pound Flint, who committed to Tennessee in August, visited Chapel Hill over the weekend. He tweeted that his decision was due in part to the Volunteers' head coaching change. Jeremy Pruitt replaced Butch Jones in early December.

#New Vols head coach Jeremy Pruitt: Give this staff a full year, and when you look at the rankings next year on National Signing Day, we're gonna be right at the top.

I'd much rather be in the college football playoffs than have the top ranked recruiting class...... which is why Tennessee probably will never do that again....

Kristian Story will join Jeremy Pruitt in Knoxville, Tenn.

The 2020 athlete from Lanett committed to Tennessee


Quote6-foot-2, 196-pound sophomore is currently ranked fourth among state of Alabama 2020 prospects.

Story is the first Vol commitment in the class of 2020.

Story, a 4-star prospect, could play on either side of the ball in college, likely at either wide receiver or defensive back.

As a sophomore, he threw for 3,286 yards and 35 touchdowns for the Panthers and ran for 765 yards and seven scores. He replaced his brother Tre, who is now at Richmond, at the quarterback position. His father, Clifford Story, is Lanett's head coach.

Kristian picked up his Tennessee offer in January. His other offers included Alabama, Georgia, Louisville, Mississippi State and Jacksonville State.

Tennessee picks up commitment from massive Alabama defensive tackle LeDarrius Cox


Quote6-foot-4, 310-pound Cox fits perfectly into what Tennessee wants to do on the defensive side of the football. Coach Jeremy Pruitt is switching a 3-4 defense which requires a run-stopping defensive tackle.

The Mobile, Ala., native certainly has the size to lock down the middle of the defensive line. Finding a prospect with this sort of build was a point of emphasis for this staff.

Cox held offers Georgia, Nebraska and Ole Miss. His Georiga [sic] offer is pinned on his Twitter account...

Tennessee adds JUCO DL Darel Middleton


QuoteMiddleton is an intriguing addition to the team. Taking a year and a half off from school might make cause some issues both on the field and classroom. EMCC, the same school featured in the first two seasons of Last Chance U on Netflix...

#Vols with a big late addition to their 2018 recruiting class: Four-star WR Bryce Thompson: http://bit.ly/2skOVyE  via @RyanCallahan247


QuoteBryce Thompson committed to South Carolina in December but didn't sign with the Gamecocks on National Signing Day in February.

The four-star athlete from Dutch Fork High School in Irmo, S.C., confirmed to GoVols247 on Wednesday that he was on his way to Tennessee to join the Vols as a late addition to their 2018 recruiting class after visiting them twice over the past few months.

With the addition of Thompson, Tennessee moved up one spot to No. 19 in the final 247Sports Composite team rankings for the 2018 class, jumping ahead of South Carolina.

Signing two five-star offensive tackles in one class is a good way to turn around your football program.

UT picked up 2 top 50 (Wright top 10 and To'oot'o 44) players today. It looks like Pruett is actually recruiting needs instead of volume and stars like the last couple coaches we had.

COLUMN: From the remote Alaskan fishing village of his birth to JUCOs to an HBCU to the SEC, #Vols rising star Brian Niedermeyer has a backstory unlike anyone else in college football.

Maybe that's why he's @247Sports National Recruiter of the Year: http://bit.ly/2LdqKhz



QuoteNiedermeyer went to high school in Anchorage, which is by far the largest city in Alaska, and one of the few areas of that state where you don't feel disconnected from the rest of the world. But he grew up in King Salmon, a remote Alaskan fishing village that had a K-through-12 student population of approximately 75.

His playing journey took him to two junior colleges — one of which forced him, as a tight end, to play on the offensive line — and then to Arkansas-Pine Bluff...

Niedermeyer stayed for an extra season at APB to start his coaching career, and he helped the Golden Lions win a conference title. Then he moved to the big-time, albeit for free as a volunteer assistant at Miami in 2013. After one hugely successful season as wide receivers coach at East Texas Baptist University in 2014, he became a defensive graduate assistant at Georgia in 2015 and got introduced to the man who would change his life —

He's now rated as top JUCO DB in the nation and 2nd overall JUCO recruit.
But he seems big to be a corner.
