Vols set to check in on world-class speedster, former UGA commit, Corey Wren today

(Free) Tennessee will pay a visit to former UGA Commit Corey Wren today.

With recruiting season upon us, we consistently see new offers come in on the daily. Tennessee has ramped up its recruiting efforts. This news, however, does not pertain to a new offer. David Johnson will be back in his stomping grounds of Louisiana to check in on world-class speedster, Corey Wren.

Wren de-committed from the University of Georgia yesterday evening, and he informed VR2 this morning that Johnson would be at John Curtis(LA) today to check in on him.

Wren is listed as an athlete on the recruiting websites but was projected to play receiver at Georgia. This is the spot that the Vols are likely interested in him at.

The 5'10, 180lbs prospect is one of the fastest players in America. He excels on the track as a multi-time state champion in Louisiana. He has posted a 10.4 100 meter time and won the 60-meter championship with a personal best of 6.80.

Wren fits the mold of the receiver that this Tennessee staff covets. He is a play-maker in space, that blocks well for his size, and has game-breaking speed. Paired up with Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee could have one of the fastest wide receiver rooms in the nation.

Arizona State appears to have some momentum here, as they never stopped recruiting him despite his Georgia commitment. Other teams are now popping into the picture and could push this recruitment into February. 

Wren is rated as the 497th overall prospect, number 26 overall athlete, and number 19 prospect from Louisiana for 2020, according to 247 Sports.
