We had 12 scholarships available and approximately $45,000 worth of bowl money in my second season on Rocky Top. Needs for this season included a QB, RB, WR, 2 OL, DL, 2 LB, 3 DB, and a K. We were excited to fill all of our needs with quality players that should contribute by their sophomore years at the latest.
Jason is the 8th rated QB in the nation from Marietta, GA. We anticipate his red-shirting, and being ready to take over the helm of our offense by his Red-shirt Sophomore year.
Robert is the 24th ranked RB out of Casey, IL. He'll certainly see the field at times during his freshman year, but will play a more significant role during his Sophomore campaign.
Michael is the 14th ranked WR out of Charlotte, NC. Like a lot of our other incoming freshman, he will contribute this year, but play a more meaningful role during his second year.
James is the 15th ranked OL out of Sumter, SC. He is expected to be the anchor of the OL even as a freshman.
Scott is the 55th ranked OL out of Chattanooga, TN. He is expected to start as a freshman for the Vols.
Lee is the 59th ranked DL out of Brevard, NC. He is expected to get significant snaps as a freshman.
Randy and Bobby are the 11th and 19th ranked LB's respectively, both hailing from Greenville, SC. Though highly touted, they understand it will likely be their second years on Rocky Top, before they see significant playing time, due to the deep LB corp.
George, Wayne, and Peter are the 15th, 25th, and 41st ranked DB's respectively, hailing from LaGrange, Catawba, and Asheville, NC respectively. We expect big things from them in coming years as they are groomed under the tutelage of our veteran secondary.
Ralph is the 7th ranked K out of Rockingham, NC. Half of this season's signing class came from the Tar Heel state. He is expected to toe the pigskin for the next four seasons.
The Tennessee coaching staff is really excited about our incoming recruits and what the next four years holds for them. We have truly taken the next step in rebuilding this program and restoring it to national prominence. This class finished as the 5th ranked class in the nation.
