Ronnie Harrison latest player to respond negatively to Tennessee recruiting graphic
Published:
You can add Ronnie Harrison to the growing list of players miffed at their inclusion on a Tennessee recruiting graphic.
It was only a few weeks ago that Tennessee was called out by Vol fans, former UT players, and former players from rival programs following the release of one recruiting graphic which was sent out by the school. If you missed that, you can view that here. Tennessee’s former SID even called out the person he claimed made the graphic for the Volunteers.
Tennessee’s latest graphic looks similar, as it shows off all the NFL defensive backs that were either recruited or developed by Charles Kelly, UT’s safeties and special teams coach, or head coach Jeremy Pruitt.
If your a DB and want to be developed by the 2 best DB coaches then Tennessee is the place for you!

Apparently, former Alabama defensive back Ronnie Harrison did not appreciate his inclusion on the list. The former Crimson Tide defender offered up this comment to the graphic:
I Was Not Recruited by either one of these coaches, and Im Certain That I Did Not Attend That University. ? #ROLLTIDE ????? https://t.co/NeNcJYcjPB

While it’s true, as Harrison points out, he did not go to “That University” (Tennessee), which just so happens to be using his image for recruiting purposes, he also didn’t read over the graphic all that well. It clearly states “Recruited & Developed: All these defensive backs were developed by Jeremy Pruitt or Charles Kelly.”
So the graphic is technically accurate, as Pruitt coached and developed Harrison the last two seasons whether he wants to acknowledge that or not.
