Ryan Wingo Schedules Four Official Visits, Tennessee Not Present

The Tennessee Volunteers have been a mainstay in five-star wide receiver Ryan Wingo's recruitment. The coaching staff has been in on him since the start, and they were the favorite to land him for months. However, recent developments around college football could be changing that.

Wingo confirmed with Adam Gorney of Rivals.com that he had scheduled four official visits, but Tennessee is not one of them. Recruits are allotted five official visits, so he could be figuring out things with the Tennessee staff, but there's a chance these are his four schools moving forward. The Georgia Bulldogs have been making a big push recently, with five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola's commitment being a driving factor.

Georgia: June 2
Michigan: June 9
Texas: June 16
Missouri: June 22

Missouri has also been in this recruitment for a while. The Saint Louis native has been on campus twice during his junior season and enjoyed the atmosphere. It seems Tennessee is competing with Notre Dame for the fifth official visit spot, as the Fighting Irish coaching staff has done a strong job pitching Wingo about his potential in South Bend. Sports Illustrated evaluated Wingo in January and labeled him as a strong fit for Tennessee's offense with his run-after-catch ability.

"While Wingo stands 6-2 and 200 lbs., he has strong athletic prowess and fluidity in the open field. He returned kicks and played corner for his high school, showcasing his world-class athleticism. Wingo has a sudden burst that often leaves defenders stumbling. He makes all his routes look the same before suddenly bursting to the under-leveraged side, forcing corners to flip their hips. He tracks the football exceptionally well out of the air. Wingo knows the landing point of the pass and can lead his defender away from the area before adjusting to the ball flight and making a play."
