A 2024 Tennessee Vols commit won a bet against a 2024 South Carolina Gamecocks commit this week.
Four-star quarterback Jake Merklinger, who has been committed to Tennessee since late March, tweeted a photo on Wednesday of four-star tight end Michael Smith, a Gamecocks commit since January, decked out in Vols gear at school.
Presumably, the bet was over the Tennessee vs South Carolina game from last weekend (which the Vols won 41-20).
Merklinger and Smith are teammates at Calvary Day School in Savannah, GA.
The orange looks natural on Smith. Maybe Merklinger could convince the nation's No. 5 tight end that he would be a better fit in Knoxville than in Columbia.
(Though it doesn't look like Smith is fond of that idea.)
