Wide receivers Jordan Mosley of Alabama and Walker Merrill from within the state, a four-star and three-star respectively, have already committed to Tennessee football. Three-star in-state athlete Elijah Howard could also play receiver.
However, the Vols aren’t done, and they are now the favorites to land another prospect. Four-star receiver Julian Nixon, who hails from Centennial High School in Roswell, Ga., says UT is “ahead by a lot” right now on the recruiting trail, according to Chad Simmons of Rivals.
Nixon, who said he grew up an Auburn Tigers fan, emphasized how badly the Vols seem to want him and noted how they said he’d be a No.
