Despite being just a sophomore at Milton High School, Alpharetta, Georgia native Lebbeus Overton is already a hotly pursued prospect at the defensive end position.
Tennessee was one of the latest Power Five schools to take notice of Overton, offering the defender a scholarship.

A 6-foot-3, 243-pound prospect, Overton is rated by 247Sports as a 4-star prospect and the No. 1 player in the 2023 class. While these ratings are impressive, most players in the 2023 cycle are still early in their development and rankings will likely change drastically over the next two seasons.
A disruptive defensive end that is also a standout on the basketball court, Overton is still a raw prospect. Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Georgia are a few of the schools that have also already offered Overton. His father, Milton, played offensive line at Oklahoma in the early 1990s.
Tennessee does not have any prospects committed to the 2023 recruiting class.
