Ohio State has lost two of its main priority targets in the last four days. First, it was five-star offensive lineman J.C. Latham committing to Alabama, followed by Monday’s news that four-star tight end Hudson Wolfe has given his verbal pledge to Tennessee.
Wolfe made the announcement live on Rivals and continued the hot recruiting for head coach and Jeremy Pruitt and the Volunteers. It gives Tennessee the class of 2021’s No. 9 tight end overall according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
He chose UT over Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, and Ole Miss.
What might be more concerning is the fact that the recruiting momentum Ryan Day and staff had through the months of March and April has cooled off a bit. It’s still one whale of a class no matter what happens, but it would be nice to get some positive vibes going again.

At this point, despite looking like a real possibility of signing the best recruiting class in the modern era, it would be stretch now. It’s not out of the question, but there’s a lot that will have to go right from here through the remainder of the cycle for that to occur.
