Tennessee continues to add talent to its roster.

On Wednesday, the Volunteers added one of the most intriguing junior college wide receiver prospects this cycle– Jeff George of Dodge City (Kan.) Community College.

The 6-foot-6 George is a native of Leavanworth, Kan., and started his collegiate career at Southwestern Oklahoma State before heading to junior college. That’s not the most traditional of paths to the Southeastern Conference for sure.

His size and athleticism, however, gives Tennessee another plus-sized target in its receiving corps to go along with players like 6-foot-4 freshman Preston Williams, a five-star prospect in the Class of 2015.

George is the fifth-ranked JUCO wide receiver in the 2016 cycle per 247Sports Composite rankings.

Three-star cornerback Desmond Henderson, George’s teammate at Dodge City, also signed with the Vols on Wednesday. Henderson is originally from Duncan, S.C., and is the fourth-ranked junior college cornerback in the 2016 cycle per 247Sports Composite rankings.

Earlier Wednesday, Tennessee signed JUCO defensive tackle Alexis Johnson from Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College.

The Vols currently have the nation’s No. 22 recruiting class.
