KNOXVILLE — Just over two weeks after the early signing period, four new Tennessee Volunteers are on campus to officially begin their UT careers as early enrollees.
The team’s official Twitter account posted a video on Sunday welcoming three of the four early enrollees in the 2020 class.

Former Knoxville Catholic offensive line standout and Tennessee legacy Cooper Mays highlights the video, as the four-star prospect was a longtime commitment and instrumental in bringing in several other signees in this class.
Along with Mays, four-star defensive tackle Dominic Bailey moved to Knoxville after an impressive outing at the Under Armour All-America Game on Thursday.
Former TCU commit Jimmy Holiday was the third early enrollee to step on campus on Sunday, and the Madison, Miss. speedster comes to Tennessee as a quarterback, despite being listed as a three-star athlete on the 247 Sports Composite.
One player not included with the three that moved in on Sunday is Marietta High School quarterback Harrison Bailey, who many believe can be the signal-caller of the future for the Vols.
The No. 4 rated pro-style passer in the 2020 class, Bailey put up gaudy numbers in his high school football career, and is delayed in getting to campus after being in San Antonio for the All-American Bowl on Saturday.
Bailey did not participate in the game with an injury, but will get a jumpstart on his Tennessee career in spring practice along with his three other fellow freshmen.
Tennessee finished 2019 with six straight wins and an 8-5 record. The Vols will carry plenty of momentum into 2020, along with a new crop of Vols in the 2020 class.
