Tennesee football: Vols make cut for two Alabama DEs within 24 hours

He may be entering his third year as head coach of the Tennessee football program, but Jeremy Pruitt continues to have the Vols trending for prospects from his home state. Within a span of 24 hours, it happened again.

Rocky Top made the cut for two Alabama strongside defensive ends, DeMarcus Smith out of Parker High School in Birmingham, Ala. and Trinity Bell out of Albertville High School in Albertville, Ala. Both are three-stars on Rivals as well.

Bell put Tennessee football on his list first, as they made his top eight along with the Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, Indiana Hoosiers, Purdue Boilermakers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Kentucky Wildcats and UCF Knights.
