Tennessee Vols fans made quite an impression this past weekend on 2023 three-star offensive tackle Vysen Lang.
Lang, 6-foot-5/335 lbs from Pike Road, AL, is ranked in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 26 player in Alabama and the No. 58 offensive tackle in the nation.
The Alabama native was in Knoxville for the Vols' win against the Gators and he was extremely impressed by the atmosphere at Neyland Stadium.
“I was there for my official visit and it was one of my best visits I’ve had at any school,” said Lang to Rivals.com this week.
“The fan base at Tennessee, they have the craziest, nicest fans in the world. During the games, they’re all crazy and hyped and outside the game, they’re all coming up to me and saying, ‘Hi, welcome to Knoxville,’ and being really nice.”
“It was loud,” added Lang. “It was loud like a whole bunch of static. You couldn’t talk to the person sitting next to you.”
The Vols appear to be in a good spot for the massive offensive lineman, but other SEC programs, including Auburn, are making a run at the talented recruit. Tennessee has a good shot here, but they'll need to continue to recruit Lang hard to bring him to Rocky Top.
