RB Ty Chandler has committed to Tennesseeand is now the Vols' highest-rated offensive verbal. Continue reading to see what type of skill-set has been added to Butch Jones' backfield:
What he brings: Chandler will bring a strong, physical package to Knoxville. He has impressive downhill power and a sturdy frame that will be able to handle the load as an every down back. He is not a pure home run threat but has the burst of speed to separate and outrun second-level defenders.
How he fits: The Vols have talented depth right now in the backfield but are in need of a future featured back and Chandler could be a bell cow if he continues to physically develop. He has the skill-set that fits really well with what the Vols want to accomplish on offense.
How this class is shaping up: The Volunteers' position in the top-10 just got stronger with the commitment of Chandler , a big backfield need. This class is headlined by ESPN 300 in-state playmaker Maleik Gray. Joining Gray on the defensive line commit list is ESPN 300s LaTrell Bumphus and tackle Eric Crosby out of Virginia. Three-star tight end Chase Rogers is a key need-filler that impressed all summer. Four-star defensive tackle Kivon Bennett is the son of former NFL star Cornelius Bennett. ESPN 300 running back/slot receiver C.J. Cotman will bring explosive quickness to Knoxville.
