Florida cornerback flips commitment from Tennessee to ACC school
The hits keep on coming for Tennessee football.
As if starting 0-2 for the first time in more than 30 years wasn’t enough, with both losses coming against non-Power 5 opponents, the Volunteers lost a commit to Louisville. Florida cornerback and 3-star prospect Lovie Jenkins, who verbally committed to Tennessee in June, flipped to the Cardinals on Tuesday.
Jenkins announced his change of heart on Twitter:
Jenkins is the 58th-ranked cornerback and 96th-best Florida player in the 2020 recruiting class based on the 247Sports composite rankings. Standing at about 5-foot-11 and 181 pounds, Jenkins attends Ocoee High School in Ocoee, FL.
Despite the loss of Jenkins for 2020, Tennessee’s class for the next cycle is still ranked 22nd-best in the country according to 247Sports. However, it’s only No. 10 in the SEC; Tennessee’s 2019 class was rated seventh-highest in the SEC.
In dire need of a win, the Volunteers will host Chattanooga this Saturday. Another loss would spell doom for coach Jeremy Pruitt, as the FCS opponent is the weakest remaining on the Tennessee 2019 schedule.
The Volunteers have already lost to Georgia State and BYU this year. Tennessee has started 0-2 for the first time since 1988.
Not a big loss if it stops with him.
Hahaha not a big loss, kys
Yeah, but they did offer the kid who was bullied. So they already have a comparable backfill.
Not making fun of UT, but it is a big deal because he flipped to a school that won 2 games last year.
You’re prob the only school that can’t make fun of them
But we can make fun of you!!!
Hahahaha
getting laughing at by a flyfisherman… man, i’m deeply offended… freaking hillbillies
Best of luck to this young man.
Gooood olllll rocky FLOP WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kids today have no appreciation of the word commitment. Ask a service member, policeman, or a fireman what it is.
Also, I don’t respect any high school kids “decisions”.
Hogwash!
Tough loss here. Would love to see TN turn this thing around, but it ain’t gonna happen with Pruitt at the helm! See you guys in Knoxville in a couple of weeks. In spite of the struggles, Neyland is still one of my favorite stadiums to watch a game. Great atmosphere and the “VOL Navy” is a unique thing to see!
Neyland will be a nice venue this year for Dawg fans. Could be mostly red in there. I’m planning on going with a big group.
I hope you’re in good cardio shape. Everything on that campus is up hill. I mean really up hill.
Nah, he already uses a Rascal.
Although I do appreciate your real message.
The struggles were almost certain to result in decommits. Winning solves everything but not sure they can. Neyland will be mostly empty Saturday and if they get blown out by florida it will be mostly red and black for the uga game. I wonder what happens with Pruitt if we start 1-7.
Pruitts not going anywhere this season. Our program is a complete mess, but I do see light. The best players on the team aside from a few are Pruitts. If we had a competent QB, the outlook would be promising. That’s why most experts predicted a 7-5 season. No one knew jg was going to sh*t the bed.
Disagree with you on the best players. Jennings, callaway, Trey, Dom, ty and others were not pruitts recruits
Vols win total was 5-5.5 and that was money in the bank… maybe you are referring to some idiots in knoxville..
