The Tennessee Vols are reportedly the "team to beat" for a 2025 recruit from Alabama.
Rivals.com national recruiting director Adam Gorney pointed out on Monday that Tennessee is the team to beat for four-star wide receiver Dillon Alfred despite his recent visit to Ole Miss.
"Tennessee remains the team to beat for the 2025 receiver from Saraland, Ala., even after a recent visit to Ole Miss that impressed him," wrote Gorney.
It sounds like Ole Miss is becoming a factor, but for now, it's still the Vols out in front in this recruiting battle.
Alfred, 5-foot-11/175 lbs from Saraland, AL, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 42 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 15 recruit in the state of Alabama.
The talented wide receiver, who also runs track in high school, looks like the type of player that could play the Squirrel White role in Josh Heupel's offense.
Alfred visited Tennessee for the Vols' win against South Carolina last month and he left impressed by the atmosphere at Neyland Stadium.
“The atmosphere here tonight inside Neyland was electrifying, and exciting to watch,” said Alfred to 247Sports after his visit to UT. “Tennessee continues to be a main focus in my recruiting. I plan on continuing to develop a close relationship with Coach Pope and Coach Heupel for the long haul. I like their offensive scheme and feel that it would be a great fit for me.”
Tennessee currently has two players committed to its 2025 recruiting class.
Josh Heupel didn’t love one replay that was shown in Neyland during Tennessee’s win against Texas A&M
Can’t blame Josh Heupel, either
