The Tennessee Vols are one of six schools in the mix to land five-star point guard Skyy Clark.

Clark revealed his top six to On3 this week and he included Tennessee, along with Illinois, Louisville, Maryland, USC, and Washington.

Clark, 6-foot-3/200 lbs, is originally from Nashville, TN, but he currently attends high school at Montverde Academy in Florida.

The Nashville native is ranked in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 5 point guard in the nation and the No. 27 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.

Clark, who was previously committed to Kentucky, tore his ACL last summer, so it's unclear if he's still viewed as a five-star talent post-injury. There's always a risk of lost explosiveness with a torn ACL.

Here's the updated scouting report on Clark (via 247Sports):

He is a creative, skilled and crafty guard with a savvy scoring package and a budding playmaking ability. He has really developed his jumper in recent years and since coming back from a torn ACL, his decision making and his facilitating have been improving while at Montverde (Fla.) Academy.

Tennessee has visited Clark at Monteverde, so it appears the Vols are a legitimate factor in this recruiting battle.
