Christmas-Giles is the Vols’ 16th commitment for 2016 and ranked as the nation’s No. 112 defensive tackle and the No. 91 overall prospect from Louisiana, according to 247Sports Composite.
“I’ve been thinking about it since I got the offer — and a little bit before I got the offer,” Christmas-Giles told 247Sports. “I talked to the coaches, and I’ve been talking to them, looking more into the school and thinking about it. I really liked it, and once I got the offer, that’s when I started thinking about committing. I got the offer, and I’ve been keeping up with the coaches, building my relationship up, and then I talked to my parents to see how they feel.”
