Tennessee coaches are back on the road as the dead period comes to a close. And the Vols will be scattered around mostly the southeast and will have a new staff member on the road.

Quality control assistant Walt Wells is on the road and will be in Alabama on Thursday to see LaBryan Ray as well as some north Alabama prospects in the 2018 class. Wells will wrap up his week in the mid-state on Friday. Ray will get plenty of orange in his life the next few days with his trip to Knoxville this weekend for an official visit.

Don Mahoney is scheduled to be in Louisiana to see running back Travis Etienne. Etienne is most likely to end up at LSU after the Tigers offered him the week after Christmas will also be on Rocky Top this weekend.

Meanwhile, running backs coach Robert Gillespie is supposed to travel to New Jersey to have an in home with John Lovett. The Vols have not been in Lovett's home yet as they offered him a scholarship after the dead period started.

Head coach Butch Jones will be in the state of Georgia on Thursday with linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen. One place they are expected to stop in at Gwinnett Central High School. One prospect there is 2018 quarterback Jarren Williams. And he could be a guy to watch in terms of an offer as Tennessee looks for a signalcaller in the class of 2018.

Wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni is down in Florida seeing a couple of commitments in James Brown and Jacquez Jones. He will also hit up some high schools seeing some 2018 prospects.

Tight ends coach Larry Scott is scheduled to be in Alabama to see commitment Will Ignont and will also see Latrell Bumphus.

We think Willie Martinez will be in the state of Georgia as well.

On the visitor front, Tennessee will host several uncommitted players:

LaBryan Ray
Elijah Conliffe
Travis Etienne
Ryan Thaxton
Josh Palmer

Committed players scheduled to visit:

Jordan Murphy
Ty Chandler
Eric Crosby
Maleik Gray
Terrell Bailey – received a Notre Dame offer this week
Kivon Bennett
Theo Jackson
Trey Coleman

Also Vol commitment Shawn Shamburger is scheduled to visit Iowa State this weekend.
