Tennessee loses another commitment as Vols' losing streak continues
As if Tennessee’s current six-game losing streak wasn’t bad enough, Jeremy Pruitt’s program continues to take hits on the recruiting trail as his team flounders on the gridiron.
Tennessee lost to Florida 31-19 on Saturday and now on Monday have to deal with another prospect leaving the program’s recruiting class.
After losing commitments from five-star linebacker Terrance Lewis and four-star defensive back Damarius McGhee in recent days, three-star defensive lineman Darrell Jackson has just announced his decision to back off his commitment to Pruitt’s Tennessee program.
Jackson had been committed to Tennessee’s class since February.
For what it’s worth, all three of the prospects that have decommitted from Tennessee’s 2021 recruiting class all hail from Florida. That suggests the inability to host or visit with recruits — due to the NCAA mandating this a dead period due to COVID — may be hurting Tennessee’s current recruiting class.
Following these decommitments, Tennessee’s 2021 recruiting class currently has 24 pledges with the Early Signing Period just over a week from starting. The class ranks as the nation’s No. 14 class and the No. 5 class in the SEC.
