There’s always drama on early signing period and the Tigers were very nearly the victim of a late steal by the Vols. Late last night, Tennessee’s confidence soared as there was belief on Rocky Top that they had convinced 4-star CB Keionte Scott to choose the Vols over the Tigers. But what folks are quickly learning is that you don’t easily overcome the trio of Derek Mason, Zac Etheridge, and Trovon Reed.
Whatever pitch Tennessee used last night to get Scott to waver (likely something regarding number of DBs Auburn is signing) wasn’t able to overcome the meaningful relationships he’s built with Auburn’s coaching staff or the plan laid out for his time on the Plains.
