"Tennessee is a great program, had some ups and downs, but has some great coaches to pick them back up," the Tennessee Volunteers target stated when speaking to Vols On SI.

There are many different coaches that has been recruiting him since the lifted deadline. However, on coach has been the primary coach in his recruitment.

"I’ve heard from different coaches since the deadline hit. Coach Halzle and I have been able to talk some."

Will the talented Peach State QB be on his way to Knoxville for a visit?

"I will probably be going to a game or two this year, but nothing is set in stone yet."

He detailed what is next for him while providing a commitment timeline.

"Currently, I am focusing on the season. I have some colleges in mind that I’ve already built a great relationship with coaches and like the place. For commitment, I’m thinking of either the end of this football season or the senior year."
