Tennessee lands commitment from former JUCO, Auburn defensive back

Kamal Hadden was a member of the 2021 Auburn recruiting class. But, he was recruited and signed while the old coaching staff was still in place.

He decided to stick with the Tigers through the spring session, but then he entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Now, the former Independence Community College cornerback has announced that he’s heading to Rocky Top. He tweeted that he was committed to Tennessee on Tuesday afternoon:

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Hadden was the No. 5 JUCO cornerback in the class of 2021 and the No. 11 overall JUCO prospect from the state of Michigan.

Here’s a look at some of Hadden’s JUCO highlights, via a tweet he sent out earlier this month:
