Corryton, Tenn., isn’t exactly a hot bed for producing offensive linemen, but one of the best players in recent history out of that area picked up a Tennessee offer over the weekend after visiting Junior Day.
Offensive lineman Oliver Lane (6-6, 280 pounds) picked up an offer from UT on Monday, he announced on Twitter, as the Vols join a growing list of schools that includes Virginia Tech, Missouri, Wisconsin, Northwestern and others in pursuing the local product in the 2018 class.
