6. Butch Jones knows how to finish strong
Jones’ first few classes at Tennessee haven’t had as much drama right at the end, but he showed this week that he can finish strong – even when everything isn’t locked up down the stretch. Tennessee added four of its highest-ranked prospects in Marquez Callaway, Tyler Byrd, Nigel Warrior and Jonathan Kongbo either in the weeks leading up to signing day or on NSD itself. It doesn’t matter when you get them – as long as you do.
