Are the Vols becoming "Quarterback U" thanks to recruiting?

The Vols picked up their first ever 5-star quarterback commitment in the modern recruiting era on Sunday when Hunter Johnson committed to Tennessee. His commitment is just the latest in a slew of talented passers the Vols have nabbed in recruiting.

Over this last offseason, there was a lot of conversation about whether or not the Tennessee Volunteers were still "Wide Receiver U." The Vols have historically been known as Wide Receiver U because of their penchant of putting receivers in the NFL and those receivers putting up big numbers while in college. The last few seasons have seen a drop off in production at receiver, and when Clemson began claiming they were the new Wide Receiver U, the Vols dropped a hype video and a debate broke out among fans of the respective schools.
