Tennessee has just a pair of commitments in the 2018 class, but both are in the top six of 247Sports’ state of Tennessee rankings for next year’s cycle, giving the Vols a nice early foundation to build on in what is expected to be another talented in-state bunch.
Offensive tackle Cade Mays, the state’s top player in the 2018 class, has been committed to UT since last summer, and dual-threat quarterback/athlete Alontae Taylor of Manchester, Tenn., joined him during Saturday’s Orange Carpet Day.

Taylor was a MaxPreps All-American in 2015, ran for 1547 yards and 19 touchdowns on 206 carries, while throwing for 799 yards and three touchdowns during that season. He’s a phenomenal athlete who could project to multiple positions, but regardless, is a guy the Vols will want to get the ball in his hands.
