The Vols got really good news today: five-star Trey Smith, the number one overall player in the ESPN 300, committed to Butch Jones and the Vols over Alabama and Ohio State on ESPNU live this afternoon.
The 6’5” offensive tackle from Jackson, TN is the #25 player in the nation in the 247 Composite. He is the 16th-highest rated recruit to choose the Vols since 2000 and the third highest-rated of the Butch Jones era, behind Kahlil McKenzie and 2018 commitment Cade Mays, another offensive lineman. He is the first five-star in Tennessee’s 2017 class, and will enroll early to be there for spring practice.
