Joseph Young decided to extend his recruitment after getting a scholarship offer from Tennessee on National Signing Day, and it didn’t take him long to realize that his mind was set on the Vols.

He was even more convinced after visiting Tennessee in February and again in April.

It seemed to be only a matter of time before the three-star running back from Fairfield Central High School in Winnsboro, S.C., gave the Vols a late addition to their 2015 recruiting class, and he made his decision official Monday when he enrolled at Tennessee.

Young became the Vols’ 30th commitment for the 2015 class and joined five-star junior-college transfer Alvin Kamara and three-star athlete John Kelly in addressing Tennessee’s glaring need for additional depth at running back.

“It’s very exciting. I can’t wait to get on campus and do my thing,” Young said before arriving in Knoxville on Sunday.

“It was a big opportunity for me, and I had to take it. I’m looking forward to playing in front of 100,000-plus on Saturdays. I’m really looking forward to making a name for myself. Right now, my name’s not that big, but I’m going to go in there, work hard and do everything I can.”

Seems like a decent pick up. The staff really likes him, and I think they've done a good job of evaluating under the radar prospects, lately.

Oklahoma State offered late too.

I don't think it was the decision, I think it was TN working the numbers out. He's been pinned as a late addition for months now, just became official today.

My guess is he had to wait to make sure he could qualify.

Heart-warming news. Too bad his career at UT is contingent on who they bring in at RB for the 2016 class. He most likely will be a one-year VFL.....

They're saving space of all if there commitments they'll get at the all star games.

I think we just "processed" a former Maryland transfer, which may have opened up space.

Didn't they have closer to 40 last year?
