Tennessee joined a growing list of SEC schools when the Vols offered 2022 cornerback Toriano Pride from Saint Louis, Missouri last week.

Pride is 5-foot-11 and 172-pounds that 247Sports rates as a 3-star prospect, the No. 34 cornerback in his class and the No. 8 player in Missouri. Auburn, Florida State, Missouri, Ole Miss and others have offered the rising junior at Lutheran North High School. Arkansas also extended an offer, with former Missouri head coach Barry Odom as Pride’s primary recruiter.
Tennessee typically does not have a big presence in Missouri recruiting-wise, and Jeremy Pruitt has not yet secured a player from the “Show-Me State.”
While UT’s 2021 class is one of the best in college football, it only includes two cornerback commits in 3-stars Nate Evans and Jay Jones. Tennessee does not yet have a commit in the 2022 recruiting class.
