As the rest of the world remains at home to practice social distancing, outside linebacker Keon Wylie has quietly been establishing himself an extremely coveted member of the 2022 recruiting class.
Tennessee extended an offer to Wylie, becoming one of the first major programs to do so. Several other Power 5 teams have followed suit, looking to jump on the Wiley train early as the pass rusher does not yet have a rating on any major recruiting site.

Recently named tight ends coach Joe Osovet is leading the charge on Wiley, as he holds the most familiarity with the upper northeast on Tennessee’s staff from his time as head coach at ASA College in New York.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound high school sophomore has collected offers from Maryland, Ole Miss, West Virginia and others since Tennessee reached out.
The Vols do not yet have any players committed to the 2022 recruiting class.
