January 26th
Visitors:
Coynis Miller, DT
Caleb Okechukwu, DE
The second batch of visitors for the Vols is comprised of players who will fit into Jeremy Pruitt’s new defensive scheme.
Coynis Miller is a massive four-star defensive tackle who is currently committed to Auburn. At 6-foot-1, 300 pounds, Miller would be a perfect nose tackle in Pruitt’s 3-4 defensive scheme. It will take a lot to flip him from Auburn, but Pruitt and his staff believe they can do so.
Okechukwu is one of the Vols’ most recent offers in the 2018 class, as Pruitt and his staff just offered him a scholarship on January 6th. But the Vols immediately leaped to near the top of his list after the offer, and Tennessee is the first SEC offer he’s picked up. He’s a three-star defensive end who could project to be an outside linebacker in Tennessee’s defense.
