One day after landing 5-star quarterback Hunter Johnson, Tennessee’s 2017 recruiting class added another major piece when 4-star receiver Tee Higgins announced his commitment to the Vols on Monday.
With two prospects who rate among the nation’s top 50 overall prospects in the 2017 class already bound for Knoxville, Volunteers head coach Butch Jones and his staff are clearly making a splash in the early phases of next year’s cycle.
Considering the Vols had yet to secure a commitment from any rising juniors as of last week, the two newest commits represent a huge surge for Tennessee on the recruiting trail.
