Tennessee in top 6 for 4-star defensive end

Tennessee in top 6 for 4-star defensive end.

Tennessee is in the top six for 2021 4-star defensive end Naquan Brown from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Brown released his list on a video via his Twitter account Tuesday.

Other than Tennessee, LSU, Miami, Penn State, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech were included.

Brown is a 6-foot-3, 205-pound prospect that the 247Sports Composite rates as the No. 11 weak-side defensive end in the country, and No. 7 player in Virginia.

Brown’s length and flexibility make him a raw but extremely talented prospect. Although his straight-line speed does not jump off the tape, he has a quick burst that often overwhelms opposing offenses at the prep level when playing for Ocean Lakes High School.

Tennessee currently has two defensive ends committed to a 2021 recruiting class that is ranked No. 3 in the country, including top weak-side defensive end Dylan Brooks.
