As state championship weekend in Tennessee quickly approaches, one UT target had a standout performance in helping his team to the 5A title game.
2022 dual-threat quarterback Destin Wade rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. He totaled 173 passing yards and one touchdown Friday as his Summit Spartans defeated Henry County, 35-21, advancing to the state championship game in back-to-back seasons.
The Spartans will play Oak Ridge.
Last season, Summit fell short of a state championship with a 30-7 loss to Knoxville Central. This will be Summit’s last game at the 5A level, as they will move up to 6A starting in 2021.
Wade is a 3-star prospect on the 247Sports Composite, and is rated the No. 15 dual-threat quarterback in his class.
He holds offers from Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Arizona State and others. Wade’s primary recruiter is Tennessee wide receivers coach Tee Martin.
Wade’s twin brother, Keaton Wade, is a running back and linebacker for Summit who also has received interest from UT and other schools.
