Saturday wasn’t a good day for the Tennessee brand.
Not only is Tennessee getting negative feedback from its current commitments, it’s even getting slammed by guys who committed elsewhere.
The Volunteers lost 15-9 in an ugly, field goal-filled game at home against South Carolina on Saturday. They haven’t scored a touchdown since Sept. 23 against UMass.
Tykee Ogle-Kellogg, a UTSA Roadrunners commit, said he tried to commit to UT at one point, but Vols’ head coach Butch Jones wouldn’t let him.
Now, he sees that as a positive thing.
I tried committing to UT back when I got the offer and butch wouldn’t let me……. He did me a favor BC they struggling now😹😹😹
