Coveted Pennsylvania OL Ryan Brubaker Sets Official Visit With Tennessee

2022 Denver (Pa.) Cocalico High School offensive tackle Ryan Brubaker has quickly become one of the most sought after offensive line prospects in the entire country. 

Brubaker now holds over 20 Division 1 offers and has communicated vigorously with numerous colleges over zoom conferences. The NCAA dead period is likely to switch to a quiet period at the end of May, which means recruits can start taking visits again. 

Shortly after Tennessee offensive line coach, Glen Elarbee took the position, he honed in on Brubaker and has made him a top target since. 

Brubaker tells VR2 on SI he will take an official visit to Tennessee in June. The Pennsylvania prospect will travel to Tennessee from June 18th-20th. 

"Coach Elarbee mentioned my adaptability and how attractive that was. This past season I played snaps at all the line positions aside from center", Brubaker recently told VR2 on SI. "Elarbee and Tennessee are looking to reboot the offense to fast tempo, and the ability to be versatile and think on my feet was attractive to him."

Brubaker will get the opportunity potential identify his future home as he will embark on recruiting visits over the coming months. 

"They need to offer solid academics and provide a degree that will carry me into a career once football is over," Brubaker told VR2 on SI about what he was looking for in a school. "The culture of the team needs to be positive and welcoming. Some teams have a negative culture that I would never want to be apart of. I need to have a connection with the staff. I want to go to a place that truly wants and values me.”

Below is a look at Brubaker's 2020 highlights:
