The Tennessee Volunteers added an explosive playmaker to their already promising 2017 recruiting class Monday in the form of wide receiver Tee Higgins.
Ryan Callahan of 247Sports noted Higgins committed to the Volunteers despite scholarship offers from more than 12 other teams, including powerhouses such as Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma.
It is no wonder so many blue-chip teams recruited the 6’4”, 185-pound Higgins. He is a 4-star prospect, per 247Sports’ composite rankings, and the No. 43 overall prospect, No. 8 wide receiver and No. 1 player in the state of Tennessee for the class of 2017.
