The Tennessee Vols are working this summer to steal a recruit from LSU's backyard.
2024 four-star wide receiver Koby Young, 5-foot-11/175 lbs from New Orleans, LA, is one of the top players in the state of Louisiana.
Young is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 9 player in the Bayou state.
The talented wide receiver has offers from Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Miami, Tennessee, and Texas, among a host of others.
Young recently took a visit to Tennessee and he told VolReport that the Vols have moved to No. 1 for him.
“Tennessee has definitely moved to No. 1,” said Young to VolReport.
“Everyone worked as a team and definitely was front and center on display,” added Young. “Everybody I talked to expressed their desire to have me as part of the team. I’m mostly impressed with their offense and how I can reach my goals of being a top receiver going into the draft.”
Tennessee just lost a commitment from 2024 four-star wide receiver JJ Harrell, so they have a need at wide receiver (they're also targeting five-star wide receivers Ryan Wingo and Mike Matthews). Young would be a nice addition. And stealing a key recruit from LSU's backyard would be icing on the cake for the Vols.
UT currently has the No. 9 ranked recruiting class in the nation.
