Recently hired outside linebackers coach for Tennessee, Shelton Felton, is looking to court a player he recruited during his time at Akron, his last coaching stop.
Defensive end prospect T.J. Sanders from Marion, S.C. was offered by the Vols to be a part of the 2021 recruiting class, according to his Twitter account.

Sanders is a 3-star prospect, and the No. 15 overall prospect in the 2021 South Carolina cycle, according to 247Sports. Felton is the primary recruiter for Sanders, who is listed as a strong-side defensive end. Defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh, who was hired from Colorado in the same time frame as Felton, is aiding the recruitment.
South Carolina, Akron, Syracuse, West Virginia and others are also pursuing Sanders.
