Tennessee lands first commitment of the 2022 recruiting cycle
Josh Heupel’s Tennessee program has just landed his first commitment of the 2022 recruiting cycle.
The pledge comes from an in-state prospect, which is something Heupel has stated will be a core building block of Tennessee’s roster during his leadership, as Murfreesboro native Elijah Herring has made the decision to become a Vol.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Herring plays for Riverdale High School in Murfreesboro and is rated as a three-star prospect, the No. 49 outside linebacker in the country and Tennessee’s No. 29 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
The Murfreesboro native picked the Vols over scholarship offers from Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Duke, Coastal Carolina, and Michigan, among others.
To get an idea of what he brings to Tennessee’s defense, check out Herring’s latest highlight video.
good get and good to see a signee. hope its the start of a few more pretty soon.
Lol.
I’m sure you could find something better to do with your time. Then again…
I’m just happy we are NOT like georgia who gets all the 5 stars they want and still can’t get it done.
2017 – Georgia 41 Tennessee 0
2018 – Georgia 38 Tennessee 12
2019 – Georgia 43 Tennessee 14
2020 – Georgia 44 Tennessee 21
Say what Small?
Yeah but where exactly did those wins get you?
SEC Champions, SEC East 3-peat, CFP semifinal win, two NY6 wins.
It sure didn’t land us offering cash in McDonalds bags to recruits, having half our starting D transfer, or waving around a garbage can on the sideline for motivation.
I don’t care about their star rating, I want players devoted to the game, the team, and the culture. That’s the way to get back to prominence. Follow the Clemson blueprint, after 25 years of irrelevancy following a 1981 national title, Clemson made a great hire and got back to the national stage.
Hate to inform you, you didn’t make that “great hire”. lol
we have a lot of time to get back there before uga did. Though it is a huge hill right now.
I hope UT will rebound from this bottomless tarpit they seem to be stuck in. The SEC East needs them to be back to that 1990s powerhouse team they were back then. That is, except when you play the Gators, naturally.
You see the thing is you say that but nobody knows for sure.
well there’s that little insight that comes from having him coach at Missouri.
quickly however, I don’t think Heupel is a bad coach, and he is young enough to grow into a P5 head coaching job.
I’m not a UT fan but I want the SEC strong.
Riverdale always a good football team
Base vols num 3 in country bball team fixing to have a top 5 class and all is well in Big orange country!
