Tennessee has offered Mississippi linebacker Stone Blanton to be a part of the 2022 recruiting class. One of the Vols’ best recruiters on staff, new linebackers coach Brian Niedermeyer, is listed as Blanton’s primary recruiter.

Although the Vols are on the board with a football offer, Blanton is currently committed to play baseball for SEC powerhouse Mississippi State.
Having not yet received a 247Sports Composite rating, Blanton is an athletic 6-foot-2, 219-pound inside linebacker for Madison-Ridgeland Academy in Madison, Miss.
Tennessee is Blanton’s first SEC football offer, along with Jacksonville State and Florida Atlantic. It is unclear whether Blanton is determined to play football or baseball in college, but he is just a high school sophomore and his recruitment is far from over.
