Top JUCO prospect includes Tennessee in final 11 schools

Top JUCO prospect includes Tennessee in final 11 schools.

JUCO cornerback De’Jahn Warren’s recruitment has been long-winded, but the 2021 prospect has cut his list down to 11 schools in the running for his signature.

Warren announced the schools with a video posted to his Twitter page.

Tennessee is on the list, along with Penn State, Georgia, Oregon, Ole Miss, Maryland, Nebraska, Alabama, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and West Virginia.

Warren is a 3-star prospect on 247Sports, but listed as the No. 1 JUCO corner in his class and the No. 2 overall JUCO prospect. Teams are vying for Warren to secure a 6-foot, 175-pound player with experience from his freshman season at Lackawanna Community College in Pennsylvania.

Tennessee will have to beat out neighboring Penn State for the Maryland native, who was a JUCO All-American in 2019. Jeremy Pruitt’s staff has experience recruiting Lackawanna Community College, after signing JUCO defensive tackle Savion Williams as part of the 2019 recruiting class.

The Vols currently have seven prospects committed to the 2021 recruiting class, with one cornerback included in Alabama native Jay Jones.
