Nation's No. 1 JUCO DT commits to Tennessee over Georgia, Nebraska and others
Ever since Jeremy Pruitt took over as the coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, the team has been scouting the JUCO ranks extensively.
On Tuesday afternoon, they added another big piece to their 2019 class, this one along the defensive line.
As you can see in the tweet below, 2019 3-star JUCO DT Savion Williams, who currently plays for Lackawanna Community College, announced he was committing to Tennessee:

According to the 247Sports rankings, Williams is the No. 1 JUCO defensive tackle in the class of 2019 and the No. 2 overall JUCO player from Maryland.
The Vols now have 18 players in their 2019 class. Prior to Williams’ commitment, the class ranked No. 6 in the SEC and No. 14 nationally, per 247Sports.

Awesome! Big get, literally! Been missing that strong push on the DL for way too long.
Sure he will be a contributor, and UGA would have loved to have him, but he should have proofread that before posting it. “Mad it happen” and “without further or due” made me chuckle
Yeah pretty funny.
Welcome to Rocky Top big boy!
Yeah, that was painful to read. If an essay is required as part of the admissions process I don’t see how the kid gets into any major University.
I hope the young man makes the most of his opportunity and is successful.
I’m not sure how so many of theses kids make it in an educational system. Between these tweets and interviews, I sure hope football works out for them, because a professional work environment will be a stretch. Welcome to Rocky Top young man. Hit up the English tutor as soon as possible.
Nice one for Rocky Top. Someone might want to let him know he doesn’t have 4 years left but big pickup.
As many has posted all ready….geesh!! That Gramar is awful..how do these kids continue to get in to Colleges?
Hey Debo…I believe the you meant “ As many HAVE posted…”. That grammar is a tricky subject.
ouch on the grammar.. but big (literal) get for the Vols- congrats just plz enroll him in an English class for society’s sake!!
All society needs to see is him demolishing your backfield.
His loss. Two years of juco didn’t do much for his writing skills. Maybe he will be a better football player at UT.
haters always be hating on my greatness too
This is a big boy. Light em up like your feet are on fire! WOoo
