Tennessee football: Jeremy Pruitt talks recruiting DBs

As he rose through the ranks from director of player development to position coach to defensive coordinator to now Tennessee football head coach, Jeremy Pruitt has always been proficient in coaching one area: defensive backs. His track record in that are is incredibly impressive.

When he was coaching the Alabama Crimson Tide’s secondary under Kirby Smart and Nick Saban from 2010 to 2012, Pruitt helped them produce arguably the greatest defense of all time and win back to back national championships. His stops with the Florida State Seminoles and Georgia Bulldogs before returning to Alabama all tell the same story.
