First year Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt will get his first shot at Nick Saban on the football field this Saturday at Neyland Stadium, but Pruitt has already registered a couple of wins over his old boss on the recruiting trail. First it was tight end Dominick Wood-Anderson, then it was 2018 top-50 overall player linebacker JJ Peterson.
Peterson has been learning on the fly since arriving at Tennessee a day after the opener against West Virginia. He hasn’t gotten a chance to see the field yet, but Pruitt already has him working a new position.
