Tennessee in top 12 for 2021 Florida defensive back

Tennessee in top 12 for 2021 Florida defensive back.

Although his recruitment is still open, cornerback Damarius McGhee from Pensacola, Florida has released his top 12 schools. Tennessee is included among a bevy of Power 5 programs.

The list is scattered across a few different college football conferences. Tennessee joins Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Georgia, UAB, USF, Indiana, West Virginia, North Carolina State, Kentucky and Louisville.

McGhee is a 6-foot-1, 162-pound cornerback that is rated a 3-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite, and the No. 28 cornerback in his class.

A player that could see a bump in recruiting rankings before his cycle is over, McGhee does everything for Pensacola Catholic High School, whether it is at wide receiver, cornerback, safety, or quarterback. His speed, coverage and ball skills project him as a college cornerback however, and those traits are highly appreciated by Jeremy Pruitt and his staff.

Tennessee defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley is McGhee’s primary recruiter.
