While Tennessee basketball spent the day celebrating former players making the pros, Tennessee football added another elite player to its future. Jeremy Pruitt secured a huge pickup for the Vols Friday afternoon from a local product.
Rocky Top received a commitment from Cooper Mays, a four-star center on Rivals out of Knoxville Catholic High School in Knoxville. He is the 10th commitment in UT’s 2020 recruiting class, the third offensive lineman and the sixth four-star.
A legacy player, Mays is only the second player from within the state to commit to Tennessee football for 2020, joining two-star Greenville prospect and fellow offensive lineman Will Albright.
