Tennessee football: Vols continue hot streak with another in-state commit

The rich keep getting richer is a phrase I’ve heard all my life. In the case of Tennessee football and the recruiting trail right now, it couldn’t be more accurate.

On Tuesday afternoon the Vols picked up another commitment from 2021 athlete Elijah Howard from Knoxville, Tennessee. The 5-foot-11, 183-pounder has not been rated by 247Sports or the 247Sports Composite rankings. However, I would guess Howard would be a solid three-star prospect with a chance to move even higher with more high school football to play.

Howard joins Jordan Mosley the four-star wide receiver as the only players in the 2021 recruiting class with ranks 21st in the nation.
