The Vols needed a big-time running back commitment in the 2016 class, and they picked one up finally in the early hours Thursday morning.
The biggest hole that still remained in the Tennessee Volunteers' 2016 recruiting class was at running back, as the Vols were still shut out at that position heading into the start of fall camp next week. But early Thursday morning, the Vols received some good news on that front.
Carlin Fils-Aime, a four-star running back according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, committed to the Vols Thursday morning, giving Tennessee their first running back commit in the 2016 class and their 14th overall commitment.
