The Tennessee Volunteers receive another 3-star commitment, this time from Miles Campbell, one of the top tight ends in Georgia.

All rankings via 247Sports:

This brings the No. 2 ranked Vols 2021 recruiting class to 21 total commits with an average player rating of 0.8962, less than the 0.8992 average of the Vols 2020 No. 10 ranked recruiting class.

The Bulldogs currently sit at No. 18 in the 2021 recruiting class rankings with an average player rating of 0.954 and only seven commits.

Georgia football offers scholarship to WR Brandon Inniss

WR Brandon Inniss took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce an offer from Georgia football for the 2023 recruiting class.

He does not have any national rankings available at this time due to his age.

Tennessee commit fires back at Florida coach’s poor troll attempt

Monday, 4-star safety Kamar Wilcoxson committed to Tennessee in a video he posted on Twitter and a Florida assistant coach responded.

Monday, Georgia target and 2021 4-star safety Kamar Wilcoxson tweeted a video revealing his commitment to Tennessee for the 2021 recruiting class.

Wilcoxson attends IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and has had commitment issues to say the least.

Wilcoxson was committed to Florida during his freshman season until backing out of his commitment a short time later.

Then, last June, Wilcoxson decided that he really did want to play for the Gators and re-committed, which lasted about 9 months until de-committing from Florida for the second time in March of this year.

Here’s his Vols commitment tweet:

It seems that the Florida coaching staff hasn’t forgotten all the drama surrounding the Atlanta native, because the Gators’ offensive assistant director of player personnel subtweeted Wilcoxson following his commitment video – something you don’t usually see.

Wilcoxson then tweeted back calling out the Florida assistant for “throwing shots.”

He deleted the tweet, but his response read:

“Lol, you mad jit ? you grown throwing shots, I can’t wait til I see y’all boys!”

Even though Georgia missed out on the 4-star safety, I’m interested to see how the rest of this drama plays out, especially when Florida travels to Tennessee in the fall.

Georgia football makes top-nine for one of Louisiana’s top prospects

As a junior, Jones recorded 137 tackles, 42 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 2 FF and 2 INTs.

Although Georgia is warming up, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball, all five votes say Florida State is the team to beat.

 “Huge production as a junior. Closes fast in pursuit and with a purpose. Shows impressive close-quarters explosiveness. Can uncoil without gathering. Pad-popper. Pursues well to perimeter and redirects well in run game.”
