Five-star wideout Tee Higgins would be a huge get for Tennessee’s 2017 recruiting class, and Sunday, the Oak Ridge, Tenn. showed why he’s the top prospect in the Volunteer state.

After watching Higgins’ highlights from the regional installment of Nike’s “The Opening” in Charlotte, it’s no surprise to find that the 6-foot-5, 190-pound receiver was one of six participants to get invited to July’s “The Opening” finals at Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.
Officially, Higgins appears to be keeping all his options open on the recruiting front. Analysts, however, see Higgins’ recruitment as a battle between Clemson and Tennessee, with the Tigers getting 68 of the predictions on 247Sports Crystal Ball.
