Tennessee’s recruiting efforts paid off once again on Friday morning, when 4-star safety Jaylen McCollough announced his commitment to the Vols. McCollough is a consensus top-200 player nationally and top-30 in Georgia, where Tennessee now has 8 players committed. The Vols beat out multiple SEC teams for his services and currently hold the #11 spot on the 247Sports team recruiting ranking. No matter how you slice it, McCollough’s commitment was a huge win for Pruitt and the staff.
Obviously the rankings boost and addition to the class are the important parts of McCollough’s commitment.
