Tennessee Volunteers

The Tennessee Volunteers are one of the main teams in the nation when it comes to recruiting the high school scene. They have multiple players interested in them, inclduoing one of the better tight ends in the 2027 recruiting class.

That prospect being Jaxon Dollar. Dollar is a prospect from the state of North Carolina. He attends East Lincoln High School and is ranked as the 58th best prospect in the nation and the 3rd best tight end in the class. He is also the best player in the state of North Carolina, according to 247Sports.

He caught up with Vols On SI to detail the latest in his recruitment.

"Tennessee has been a little quiet in the communication department. But they've had some really big games the past few weeks, so I don't expect them to be worried about anything but getting dubs," said the talented prospect from the state of North Carolina.

He then went into detail about which coach he has been speaking with when he does speak to the staff.

"I only have met with Coach Abeln. There hasn’t been much of a message to be honest."

The prospect has been able to schedule multiple different visits. He just wrapped up a visit, and will have another visit soon.

I visited NC State this weekend. I will be at Notre Dame next weekend."

He unofficially visited the Tennessee Volunteers last month for the game against the Georgia Bulldogs. He has yet to schedule a follow up with the Tennessee Volunteers.
