re: Pruitt just took one of Ed O's handpicked OLBers

"My recruitment got very hectic around late July. LSU is a great school in my opinion and I had felt like that was the right place after the two visits, but later towards decision day, about a week before I sat down and just thought about the decision. I realized that I didn’t take everything into account.

"After numerous visits ,and the long nights contemplating on this big decision. I can truly say I am excited to announce that I am committed to the University of Tennessee.

"I was thinking and since coach Jeremy Pruitt arrived Tennessee, he was recruiting me the hardest. The whole coaching staff showed me love and they really needed me to come and fill the role immediately. It felt like home. The coaches were very passionate on recruiting me since day one and that’s why I chose the Vols."
