Eddie Smith’s first trip to see Tennessee’s campus may have been enough to get the defender on board with the Volunteers.
“I loved it,” Smith said. “Like with the players and everything, it felt like home. I love the new coaching staff. I love it.”
The 6-foot, 175-pound cornerback out of Salmen (La.) High School didn’t hide his interest in the Big Orange.
“Oh that’s my No. 1 school without a doubt,” said Smith, who mentioned Alabama, Mississippi State and Missouri in his Top 4.
