2023 running back prospect Marcus Higgs visited Tennessee during the first weekend in March.
The 5-foot-11, 210-pound running back is from Warren High School in Downey, California.
“I loved Tennessee,” Higgs told Vols Wire of his visit. “The fans gave great vibes to be around and excellent support, and the weather felt nice. I really did enjoy my time out there.”
Higgs is a versatile player. He has the ability to run up the middle, become a receiver out of the backfield and pass protect.
Higgs discussed what he could bring to Tennessee and Josh Heupel’s offense.
“Honestly, I think I can bring a lot to an offense like Tennessee being as versatile as I am,” he said. “Him (Heupel) and the staff were very welcoming, they treated me very well.”
At Warren, Higgs has played alongside Tennessee targets quarterback Nicholaus Iamaleava and wide receiver Jordan Anderson.
“Playing with Nico and Jordan is a blessing,” Higgs said. “They bring so much to a team with their talent and it makes it hard for teams to stop all three of us.”
