Nigel Warrior to Tennessee: Volunteers Land 4-Star Safety Prospect

Nigel Warrior has kept schools guessing for months now, but he squashed the speculation Wednesday and officially committed to the Tennessee Volunteers.

Matt Slovin of the Tennessean relayed Warrior's decision after the safety made his announcement at a press conference.

According to 247Sports’ composite rankings, the 4-star recruit out of Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Georgia, is the fourth-ranked safety in his class, the seventh-best prospect in Georgia and the 58th-ranked player overall.

Tennessee has been the most viable destination for the coveted defensive back all along, despite heavy interest from SEC competitors like Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and LSU.
