Tennessee in top 13 for 2022 defensive end

Tennessee in top 13 for 2022 defensive end.

Tennessee is still in involved in the recruitment of 4-star defensive end Ken Talley.

Talley released his top 13 schools on his Twitter account.

The Vols join an SEC-heavy list that includes Ole Miss, Florida, Kentucky and Texas A&M. Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, West Virginia, Arizona State and Pittsburgh are also included.

Talley is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound prospect who is a rising junior at Northeast High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The 247Sports Composite rates Talley as the No. 11 weak-side defensive end in his class, and the No. 8 player in Pennsylvania. His quickness and body control flying off the edge helped him put together 43 tackles and five sacks through the 2019 season.

Despite still having two more seasons of high school football left to be played, Talley will make a commitment on Sept. 8.

The Vols do not have a prospect committed to its 2022 recruiting class.
