Tennessee received a big time commitment from top linebacker prospect JJ Peterson last month at the U.S. Army All-American game. Peterson is a four star prospect that was leaning Alabama until Jeremy Pruitt took over at Tennessee.
Peterson committed to Tennessee on that day, but it appears that Nick Saban and Alabama are still very much in the picture. In a report from AL.com, Peterson’s high school coach Rush Propst said that Alabama is making a strong push for Peterson.
“Alabama has made a very strong push,” said Rush Propst, Peterson’s coach at Colquitt County High School.
