With two outside rushers already in their 2022 recruiting class, Tennessee football is now in the running to land a third, the most elite of all of them. Their task will be to go to his hometown, where Josh Heupel used to coach, and lure him out of the Sunshine State.

The Vols made the top five for Florida linebacker DeMario Tolan. A four-star on Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN, Tolan is listed as an outside linebacker and stands somewhere between 6’2″ and 6’3″ while weighing in the 205 to 215-pound range.
