Page is one of the top recruits in the 2021 class, rated as a 5-star prospect on the 247Sports Composite. The Composite also lists him as the No. 4 defensive tackle in the country and No. 28 overall player.
Page is a 6-foot-4, 315-pound defensive tackle that takes up space on the defensive front and often overpowers opposing offensive lineman with his wide base and quick burst. Out of Greensboro, N.C., Page’s recruitment has involved offers from most of the elite programs in the country.
A common mantra in college football recruiting states that if a school can get a prospect on campus, they give themselves a shot. Although there is a long way to go, but Tennessee may give itself a chance with Page down the stretch.
