Tennessee in top 5 for 4-star tight end

Tennessee in top 5 for 4-star tight end.

Tennessee has secured two tight end commits in the 2021 recruiting class in Miles Campbell and Trinity Bell.

Bell could convert to defense once he arrives on campus however, and there is another tight end on the board that the Vols are pursuing in Terrance Ferguson from Littleton, Colorado.

Ferguson released his top five schools and Tennessee is included.

With options that spread across the country, UT joins Auburn, Oregon, Wisconsin and USC in the race for the 4-star. Ferguson rates as the No. 14 tight end in his class and No. 3 player in the state of Colorado.

At 6-foot-5, 230-pounds, Ferguson is a big-bodied and dangerous receiving threat that is capable of going up over defenders to make a catch. He also can damage defenses with his run-after-catch abilities.

Ferguson is a major part of his Heritage High School offense, collecting over 1,000 all-purpose yards in his junior season, catching 54 balls for 929 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The only other SEC opponent in the race for Ferguson is Auburn, the team Tennessee beat out for Alabama native Trinity Bell. Tennessee tight ends coach Joe Osovet is Ferguson’s primary recruiter.
