One of the big positional needs for Tennessee’s roster got filled today. 3-star cornerback Cristian Conyer committed to the Volunteers on Sunday afternoon.
Conyer is ranked as the 553rd overall prospect and the 43rd best athlete, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. He attends South Warren High School in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where he plays both cornerback and wide receiver for his high school.
Tennessee’s main competition was the home state Kentucky Wildcats. It was a close recruitment, and no one had a strong idea which one he was leaning to entering the final week. The Volunteers won out, and they grabbed a solid athlete who projects best on defense.
