The same day that news came out of them being in the lead by a lot with a four-star wide receiver from Georgia, Tennessee football made the cut for an elite cornerback out of Virginia. So the Vols were trending upward at the skill positions.
Virginia Beach, Va. 2021 cornerback Tony Grimes, who came out of Princess Anne High School, put Rocky Top is in his top eight. Ironically, the Vols weren’t in his top 13, so they actually made the later cut after missing the first cut.
Joining Tennessee football are the Clemson Tigers, Virginia Cavaliers, Texas A&M Aggies, Ohio State Buckeyes, Penn State Nittany Lions, North Carolina Tar Heels and Georgia Bulldogs.
