Tennessee news and notes: Friday, March 31st
Tennessee made another splash in the 2024 recruiting cycle, landing 4-star quarterback Jake Merklinger. The Georgia product is the 55th overall player in the class, so naturally that provided the Volunteers with a nice early boost in the recruiting class rankings at 247Sports. Tennessee moved up to sixth overall after landing their fourth top 150 prospect. Josh Heupel and his staff are off to a really nice start once again, needless to say.
The Volunteers hosted all 32 NFL teams in Knoxville on Thursday for their pro day event.
