For the second day in a row, the Tennessee Vols landed a highly touted commit that was heavily pursued by SEC rivals like Alabama and Auburn.
2021 four-star defensive back Kamar Wilcoxson committed to UT just a day after the Vols received a commitment from five-star defensive end Dylan Brooks.
Wilcoxson is a player that Alabama badly wanted on their commit list.
In fact, Rivals reported last week that Alabama had turned the heat up on Wilcoxson and was in daily communication with the impressive defensive back in recent weeks. That includes some face time calls from Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban.
Wilcoxson and Brooks, however, already knew they were heading to Tennessee.
The Vols' latest commit told VolQuest on Monday that he and Brooks planned to publicly commit on back-to-back days. The timing of the commitments certainly sent a shockwave through the recruiting world, causing the rest of the SEC to take notice of Tennessee's recent efforts on the recruiting trail (UT's 2021 class is now ranked No. 2 in the SEC and No. 7 in the nation).
Wilcoxson told VolQuest, in no uncertain terms, that something special is brewing on Rocky Top.
"We plan on having the best class in the SEC. We know a lot of people and a lot of people want to play with us", said Wilcoxson on Monday.
"With them seeing that we committed with all the offers, we could’ve went anywhere we wanted, they see there’s actually something special going on at Tennessee."
The Vols' 2021 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best classes in the nation. Jeremy Pruitt and his stafff have created a lot of trust on the recruiting trail, which has translated to commitments from highly rated recruits.
It's only going to get better from here for Tennessee. Fans should buckle up. It could be a wild ride over the next few years.
