The No. 1 player from England is considering a commitment to Tennessee.
Emmanuel Okoye, who currently attends the NFL Academy in England and stands at 6-5, 230, dropped a top 3 of Tennessee, Texas Tech and USC Wednesday afternoon. Okoye is a monstrous athlete and recently hit the scene as a true national prospect.
And it’s not every day a football player from England drops a top 3:

Okoye is considered to be the No. 29 edge prospect in the country according to 247Sports’ rankings. The recruiting service does not have a national ranking for Okoye.
Okoye took a recruiting trip to the United States in April, visiting Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Texas Tech and USC. Vanderbilt was cut from the list, though it’s apparent he’s had his eyes on these 3 schools for some time.
Okoye talked with On3Sports about his recruiting process prior to his final 3 being released:
“Tennessee has a great football environment and tradition, great coaches and system going on,” he said. “They also have great academics. I met great people during my time out there, which will be great in the long run.”
Ethan Stone is a Tennessee graduate and loves all things college football and college basketball. Firm believer in fouling while up 3.
