Tennessee target, 5-star OL Amarius Mims announces commitment

Tennessee target, 5-star OL Amarius Mims announces commitment.

Less than a week after losing 44-21 to Georgia, Tennessee has missed out on a blue-chip prospect to the same team.

5-star offensive lineman Amarius Mims announced his commitment Wednesday, and the 6-foot-7, 315-pound tackle will be playing for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Tennessee was in the mix throughout Mims’ recruitment, and was one of the final schools he came down to.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Mims is the No. 2 offensive tackle in his class, and the No. 1 overall player in the state of Georgia. He projects as an elite player up front in the SEC.

Tennessee is in a good position with its current 2021 recruiting class, currently at No. 7 in the country and No. 3 in the SEC. The Vols will likely try to continue pursuing Mims, looking to flip him before signing day.
