re: Tennessee Football Recruiting

VOLS/AU are now co-leaders for 5* Torrance Gibson.

“Auburn and Tennessee are tied right now with each other at one,” Gibson said. “They are both recruiting me the hardest.”

The U.S. Army All-American broke down what he likes about his finalists. 1. Tennessee - “I talk to coach Butch Jones a lot. I talk to the wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni a lot. I’d like to talk to the quarterbacks coach Mike Bajakian more so I know his plan. I do enjoy talking to coach Zach. They have a great school and campus. They play in a great conference that I like.”

The nation’s No. 14 overall prospect regardless of position will visit Auburn this for ‘Big Cat’ weekend, starting Friday. “I’m going with my teammates Tarvarus McFadden and Dredrick Snelson,” Gibson said. “I’m looking forward to talking to the coaches again and getting a feel again for the campus and having fun.”

In June, Gibson will head to Tennessee for its quarterback camp, which will feature Jon Gruden. He’ll also be at The Opening in Beaverton, Ore., in July. Gibson’s plan remains to take all of his official visits in the fall before making his decision. “I’ll probably make my commit a week or two after my season is done,” Gibson said.

Which offensive schemes among his finalists does he feel best fit his skill set? “Tennessee, Ohio State and Auburn,” he said. As a junior, Gibson threw for 1,864 yards and 19 touchdowns while rushing for 1,032 yards and 10 touchdowns leading his team to a state championship.

Would be awesome if Peyton just happened to show up at Gruden's camp too.
