Tennessee QB commit appeared to throw shade at former commit
Tennessee quarterback commit Jarrett Guarantano seemed to be throwing some serious shade at top 2017 quarterback prospect Hunter Johnson after Johnson flipped from Tennessee to Clemson earlier Monday evening.
The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Guarantano, one of the top-rated dual threat quarterbacks in the 2016 class, claimed his message wasn’t for anyone particular but you be the judge.
Lol , if you want to go win SEC championships & go to big time bowl games come to Tennessee . Jump on board or just watch us win . Simple ??

Not subbing anyway , just letting all recruits and fans know what we have in store . #VFL

The editors of Tennessee team sites at both Scout.com and Rivals said that after trading text messages with Guarantano he let them know that his tweets weren’t directed at Johnson.
It's worth noting that @Guarantano2 is NOT pointing fingers at Hunter Johnson and not directing this tweet at his once fellow #Vols commit.

Just traded some messages with @Guarantano2, letting me know his earlier tweet wasn't directed at Hunter Johnson.

Surprisingly, some fans weren’t buying it.
@TheDannyParker @Guarantano2 you must take us for idiots
