Tennessee hosts in-state running back, visits with Jay Graham

Tennessee hosts in-state running back, visits with Jay Graham.

KNOXVILLE — Brentwood Academy running back Jordan James was on Tennessee’s campus Thursday, visiting with the football program as they recruit the Nashville native.

James, a prospect in the class of 2022, already holds offers from Alabama, Nebraska, South Carolina and others.

At 5-foot-9.5 and 200-pounds, James plays for Tennessee private school powerhouse Brentwood Academy that has produced major talents such as Derek Barnett and Jalen Ramsey.

In the visit, James was shown meeting with Tennessee Director of Athletics Phillip Fulmer, and new running backs coach Jay Graham. This is the first public photo of Graham in Tennessee gear after being hired away from Texas A&M, and he clearly is already off and running on the recruiting trail for the Vols.
