Tennessee has landed a verbal commitment from a Georgia-native recruit who chose the Volunteers over the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide, according to a Yahoo Sports report published Thursday.
The commitment bolsters head coach Josh Heupel's recruiting efforts as Tennessee continues to compete for top talent in the Southeast. The recruit's identity, position, and ranking were not disclosed in the initial report.
Heupel, pictured working the sidelines during Tennessee's October 17 game against Alabama at Neyland Stadium, has emphasized in-state and regional recruiting since taking over the program.
