Early signing period: Wide receiver to keep an eye on for the Vols to flip

The early signing period has kicked off and goes through Dec. 18.

Thursday is the second day during the early signing period and the Vols look to continue adding to its 2021 recruiting class.

Part of the recruiting process is coaches flipping players from being committed to one school and having them sign with their respective program.

One 2021 prospect to keep an eye on for the Vols in the 2021 recruiting cycle is wide receiver Javonte Sherman.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound wide receiver is from Valdosta High School in Valdosta, Georgia. His head coach is Rush Propst, Jeremy Pruitt’s former boss at Hoover High School.

Tennessee had two wide receivers sign in the 2021 class Wednesday. Walker Merrill from Brentwood High School in Brentwood, Tennessee, and Julian Nixon from Centennial High School in Roswell, Georgia signed with the Vols.

Jordan Mosley remains committed to Tennessee for the 2021 class, however it is uncertain if he will sign with the Vols. Mosley is from McGill–Toolen Catholic High School in Mobile, Alabama.

Sherman verbally committed to East Carolina in June.

The early signing period takes place Dec. 16-18 for the 2021 recruiting class. National signing day is slated for Feb. 3.
