Another member of the Whitehaven trio from Whitehaven High School in Memphis, inside linebacker Martavius French signed with the Vols on Wednesday morning.
At 6-foot-2, 240-pounds, French is a four-star prospect and the No. 15 inside linebacker in the 2020 class on the 247 Sports Composite.
“Martavius French, to me, is a guy that can play all four positions,” said Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt during his signing day press conference.
“When it comes to linebacker he can play inside or he can play outside. He’s from Memphis, we signed a couple of his teammates and all of these guys, I think in the last two years they’ve only lost two ballgames, but when you talk about hard-nosed, loving the game and when you go watch this guy play you can see before the ball snaps he knows what play is really coming from the offensive side of the ball.”
A former Arkansas commit, French held offers from schools such as LSU, Memphis, Florida and Oklahoma.
