Just behind the offensive line, the secondary stood out as an elite recruiting class for Tennessee football in 2019. The Vols got six commitments there, three of them were four-star recruits, and one of them, Jaylen McCullough, stood out with two interceptions in the spring game.
As a result, heading into this year, Rocky Top has great depth at defensive back. McCullough, Tyus Fields and Warren Burrell are the three four-star commitments. Anthony Harris, Kenney Solomon and Aaron Beasley are the three three-stars. However, Harris isn’t on the roster yet.
McCullough, Beasley, and Harris if he gets in are safeties, and Solomon, Fields and Burrell are cornerbacks.
