Tennessee flips Sunshine State prospect
Tennessee is just setting the stage for a wild National Signing Day around the country.
The Vols flipped Miami cornerback commit Tyler Byrd, who also happens to be a one-time Florida Gators commit. Tennessee dipped down into the Sunshine State (Naples, Fla.) to land Byrd, and he became the Vols’ 18 commitment for the class of 2016.
Byrd took an official visit to Tennessee this past weekend, and this commitment doesn’t really come at a surprise. Byrd is very close to Tennessee running back commit Carlin Fils-aime.
He is ranked the nation’s No. 86 overall prospect and No. 10 cornerback, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Here are Byrd’s senior highlights:
Tall and has some weight on him. Looks good so far.
There is a lot of pissed off canes fans out there tweeting some mean things to coach Scott and coach Martinez. Its kinda funny really.
This was HUGE. After beating UK in basketball also. Wonder where SevenT is?
Lol eating a hotdog thats where she always is.
Good move for the young man
He was not going to see the field in Florida so a Tier 2 program makes sense
Plus he can play with his pal on the UT rocky slop team
You’re a warm and fuzzy individual.
It makes me feel good that he’s extra angry this morning after our pathetic basketball team took down his. It was a good night for Rocky Top.
Morning Seven T, did you enjoy the basketball game last night? Big Blue Nation must be on suicide watch after losing to a Tennessee bball team that doesn’t have anybody over 6’7″. Now, you get to watch as Tennessee signs elite recruits, meanwhile the Cats slip further and further into the conference basement. You should be used to it by now. You have been living in yo mommas basement for years.
lmbo there he is. You like the game SevenT? UT showed just how SOFT UK really is. Hahaha
If Tennessee is a second tier team, what does that make the cats?
You have to excuse SevenT. He is still healing from getting pistol whipped with several hotdogs in the parking lot of a Ketucky game last year. From what I hear, those hotdogs left nasty bruises on both cheeks……lol. Hard to swollow all that envy and jealousy huh SevenT.
