TENNESSEE
Tennessee gained some big-time momentum on the recruiting trail in December, particularly during the Early Signing Period (Dec. 19-21). So far, that momentum hasn’t carried over into January.
Dodge City Community College LB Lakia Henry, the No. 1 JUCO linebacker in the class of 2019, announced Saturday that he is backing off his pledge to the Volunteers. The 6-foot, 225-pounder is expected to land at either Florida State or Arkansas.
FSU extended an offer to the Vidalia, Ga. native on Dec. 15 during an unofficial visit to Tallahassee. He took an official visit to Arkansas on Nov. 10. Henry is a 4-star recruit on the 247Sports Composite.
Even without Henry, Tennessee’s class is still ranked No. 6 in the SEC on the Composite. The Vols have 21 commits on board, including 19 signees.

If Arky gets him they are working miracles this year on the recruiting trail.
Agreed-possibly the only program (other than maybe Ole Miss) in worse shape than UT right now.
The jury is still out on his coaching but the man can no question flat out recruit.
Thank goodness for basketball season. Loving today’s game.
Insane margin of victory. Also liked the UK loss.
Yeah. Icing on the cake.
You’re welcome. ;-)
He was being recruited over. Come Feb you will see.
I’ve heard the moving Crouch to lb played into the decision.
Thought Tenn had other options they liked better. Regardless if Ark gets him, I’m thrilled. LB (and grad QB) are our biggest needs left in 2019 class.
He’s Def a good player. But Pruitt and team have others they like better. That’s always a gamble and sometimes you live to regret it. I hope he goes to y’all and not the criminoles
Dark horse in Auburn? All three starters are leaving.
