The Tennessee Volunteers are searching for talent in Big Ten country.
The Vols extended a scholarship offer to defensive end Popeye Williams from Westfield, Indiana.
After a great conversation with @shelton_felton I am blessed to receive an offer from The University of Tennessee #GoVols @RobertMathis98 @gridiron_gang_ @SWiltfong247 @ShamrockFB @AllenTrieu @LauerFBU @Rivals @mattfreemanISD @IndianaPreps @CraigHaubert @JoshHelmholdt @Bryan_Ault pic.twitter.com/KgFe4CRdxa

Williams is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound prospect that rates as a three-star and the No. 18 weak-side defensive end in his class per the 247Sports Composite. Williams is the No. 8 player in Indiana.
The junior at Westfield High School already has offers from several major Big Ten programs such as Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
A few SEC schools are also in the mix for Williams, including Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The Vols have only one prospect committed to the 2022 recruiting class, three-star defensive end Jimmy Scott from New York.
