The only top four prospect in the state that won’t be in attendance in Nashville linebacker Mason Curtis. Curtis committed to Michigan in late June.

Spillman and Beasley are high school teammates at Nashville power Lipscomb Academy. Spillman’s older brother — Nate — is a member of Tennessee’s 2023 recruiting class.

Carter plays his prep football at Chattanooga Christian Academy. The 5-foot-10 athlete is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the country. CCA plays in Knoxville against Grace Christian Knoxville on Friday night ahead of Alabama-Tennessee.

The trio are all making their second trip to Tennessee in a month’s time. All three visited Knoxville for the Vols’ win over Florida in late September.
