Prospects will start to leave campus early this afternoon but here’s a couple quick notes on the weekend so far…
We hinted around the Quavaris Crouch stuff earlier in the week. I noted not to discount the Vols in my 10 Things piece and that they were getting the final in-home visit. The trip this weekend was scheduled then, too, but Tennessee didn’t want the information out there. Crouch spoiled the bit with his social media videos, but suffice to say, the quiet visit has gone well for the Vols. We’ll see what other information we glean over the next couple days, but Tennessee certainly has Clemson sweating a bit over this one now. One thing to keep in my with Crouch: He doesn’t plan on signing anywhere Wednesday. He will make his announcement at the All-American Bowl in Texas on Jan. 5, simply singing a financial aid agreement afterward.
Another visitor who made the trip after an in-home with Tennessee’s staff was wideout Javonta Payton. I know some around Mississippi State were saying the visit didn’t take place, but Payton was here.
Future foundations of the offense?
On campus this weekend were 5-star OT Darnell Wright, 4-star RB Eric Gray, 4-star ATH Quavaris Crouch, 4-star WR Ramel Keyton, 4-star OL Wanya Morris, 4-star OL Chris Akporgohene, 3-star OL Melvin McBride, 3-star TEs Jackson Lowe and Sean Brown and 3-star QB Brian Maurer.
If the Vols land Wright and Gray, that would be four of their five OL in the 2019 class, their top RB, their top WR, QB and both TEs.
Finally, early word is Tennessee has given wideout Jaylen Ellis plenty to think about. We hope to catch up with the Baylor commit later today. Like Crouch, Ellis won’t sign Wednesday and will announce a final decision in Texas.
