Another one! Tennessee picks up commitment from 4-star 2021 DT out of Baltimore
No one has been hotter on the recruiting trails than Jeremy Pruitt and the Tennessee Volunteers in recent weeks.
On Saturday afternoon, the Vols added another key piece to their 2021 recruiting class, dipping into Baltimore to land a 4-star defensive tackle.
As you can see below, KaTron Evans — who plays for St. Francis Academy — took to Twitter to announce he was committing to the Vols:

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Evans is the No. 9 defensive tackle in the class of 2021 and the No. 8 overall recruit from the state of Maryland.
The Vols now have 19 players in their 2021 recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 2 in the nation and No. 1 in the SEC, per 247Sports.

This is a big time get. Championship caliber teams are built from inside out.
Hang on-you’re being way too enthusiastic. I’m sure one particular rival fanbase and a couple of NegaVols can back me up on this.
The train keeps on rolling for the Vols. Should be set at nose tackle for the next few years.
Another really good one. Do the UGA and UF twitter accounts lose their minds again?
Nah, we UGA folk stay sane.
I have been predicting that Pruitt and UT will be UGA’s biggest nemesis in the SECE once Pruitt gets the program on track.
Pruitt is a heck of a recruiter and coach; I appreciate what he did for UGA.
@LSUSMC……..UGA WILL BE #1 IN THE 2021 RECRUITING CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE ITS ALL OVER!!! Either UGA OR OSU!!!! But UGA will be #1 IN THE SEC BEFORE ITS OVER!!!!!
PS. It sounds more like LSU fans are worried. UGA DOES THIS EVERY SEASON!!!!!! We’re not even nervous!!!!

While you are really uppin the pay, go after the younger qb at Bama. Might win a natty if you pay enuff.
The amount of Hugh Freeze comments is baffling. If you look at the class and see the average recruiting ranking and can do math you’ll realize we are on an almost identical pace as last year’s class. The attention being given is really only because other teams haven’t started recruiting in full swing yet and there isn’t anything else news worthy in sports. I don’t expect much out of the trolls on this site, but even you lazy losers can do better.
Don’t take it personal. He says the same thing for every team/
Hopefully his teammate will follow suit! From what I have read it seems very likely. If we land him and Salter we might overtake Ohio State for number 1 in recruiting rankings. It’s early,but a heck of a start. It creates alot of buzz and alot of other potential signees will definitely take notice!
Nanaerbread, Darrell and his other brother Darrell post only one kind of comment regardless of what the article is about. This was a big get, literally and figuratively. We need a few more in the trenches. I hope his LB buddy makes it a sweep though. Probably going to be parting ways with some lower ranked commits before too long. This Crazy Train is building steam.
Yeah, I’m excited for this class don’t get me wrong. I’ve seen some of Pruitt’s recruits, even the overlooked ones, making an impact on the field and in the game. I just get annoyed with folks acting like UT hasn’t averaged a
top twenty class even in our worst decade ever.
Vols on quite the roll. Kaidon Salter, a 4-star QB from TX, is supposed to commit tomorrow (Sunday).
Maybe your right.
Very impressive. Pruitt knows what the trenches look like in the SEC and he’s building his team around that.
Just think of how electric special teams will be game 1. Kick Return/Punt Return/Kick and punt coverage. You have to scrap everyday in practice just to touch the field. Look out SEC!
ATTENTION ELITE RECRUITS…..
Is that you? Pay close attention. This Tennessee run is all really really cute. But if you truly want to play for THE BIG BOYS AND A FUTURE DYNASTY. Then you need to go ahead and PULL THE TRIGGER ON UGA.
COMMIT TO THE G!!!!!
Kirby built bama more than Saban did!!! ALABAMA WAS 6-6 UNDER SABAN IN 2007. Then Kirby took over their defense and look what happened. From barely 6-6 losing to LOUISIANA MONROE IN TUSCALOOSA. TO UNDEFEATED REGULAR SEASON WINNING THE SEC WEST UNDER KIRBY SMART!!! Kirby eventually earned the title of CO-HEAD COACH and Saban cried on tv when he left to come home!!!!
Kirby Smart is home at UGA and HE AIN’T GOING ANYWHERE!!!!
Then compare Kirby and his record as a HEAD COACH compared to Saban or anyone else in the first 4 seasons? Nobody compares to Kirby at all!!!! Mark Richt wasn’t bad but he never played in a national championship game that WE WERE CHEATED OUT OF!!!!!!
I have the BEST RECORD PICKING FOOTBALL and ATHLETES OF ANYONE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. MY RECORD HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED!!! Anyway if you want to play for THE BEST COACH and the BEST TEAM. UGA should be your destination!!!!!
Jeremy Pruitt ain’t bad. But to me he is a cheap copy of Saban who took credit for THE ALABAMA DYNASTY that he did NOT build!!!! KIRBY SMART RECRUITED AND DEVELOPED ALL THE ALABAMA DEFENSIVE PLAYERS THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
And now UGA has SCOTT COCHRAN who was the heart and soul of the Alabama team ACCORDING TO THE PLAYERS!!!! So don’t be silly and go to Tennessee if you really want GREATNESS!!!!! Tennessee hasn’t even gotten Florida off their back yet!!!! They still lose to MULLEN THE CLOWN!!!!!
Tennessee will get better probably. No guarantee. But either way. UGA IS GREAT TODAY!!! UGA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING DOWN THE BAMA DYNASTY!!! Even Alabama players admitted that UGA cost them the game against Clemson!!!! Through RECRUITING and more RECRUITING and WINNING. UGA TOOK ALABAMA APART PIECE BY PIECE!!!! UGA WILL STAR AND FEATHER THEM THIS COMING SEASON!!!! LSU SHOULD SAY. THANK YOU UGA FOR OPENING THE DOOR FOR ALL OF US!!!!!!
Because if Kirby had stayed at Alabama and continued to RECRUIT AND COACH. Alabama would still be unbeatable!!!!! Now UGA took their heart and soul. NO IN TRUTH HE HIMSELF GOT TIRED OF SABAN AND JUST LEFT!!!! He even took a PAY CUT to come to UGA!!!!! DOES THAT TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT UGA AND KIRBY SMART????
It tells me everything!!!!!! I want to see those ELITE RECRUITS commit to the G WHICH STANDS FOR GREATNESS!!!! God will lead you if you ask him. But I believe I know what he would say. But I can’t speak for the almighty!!!! Do whatever God says.
PS. But if you are asking me. COMMIT TO THE G!!!!! ILL BE WATCHING, MAKE ME PROUD!!!!
God is great

“Kirby built Bama more than Saban did”, yet somehow Saban keeps winning and Kirby can’t repeat his performance with a natty, despite much better recruiting classes than Bama, LSU, and Clemson-odd.
Also-Kirby’s not God
King be dumb, desperate, and long winded.
Honestly 12 3 star recruits does NOT exactly do much for me!!!! ANYBODY THAT OPENS THE DOOR TO THAT MANY 3 STARS THIS EARLY. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NEAR THE TOP!!!! But it won’t last!!!!
UGA AND KIRBY SMART PLAY THE LONG GAME!!! And they play for THE BIG BOY RECRUITS!!!! UGA will probably get Tennessee’s 5 stars before it’s over!!!! They are smart kids to be 5 stars. Get it? Smart Kids????? Kirby is waiting.
It’s DYNASTY TIME at UGA so we are extremely picky as Kirby selects from only the best!!! 3 stars on the UGA roster are overlooked 4 stars. But you won’t see too many on the UGA roster!!!!
PS. DYNASTIES ARE BUILD BY GREAT COACHES AND ELITE PLAYERS!!!!! And a whole lot of hard work!!!!
