Harvin says no Vols

Tennessee appears to be out of the running for Percy Harvin.



The wide receiver from Landstown High School in Virginia Beach, Va., said he plans to take only four of his five NCAA official visits this fall. Harvin said his final four is Florida, Miami, Southern California and Michigan.



Harvin said he had considered UT before narrowing his list. He said he studied the teams’ offenses and ability to send wide receivers to the NFL.



"I don’t really know," Harvin said when asked why he eliminated UT. "I really hadn't known too much about them anyway."



Harvin said being one of the highest rated prospects in the country has started to take its toll.

"It's been frustrating with all the calls and the media," the 6-foot-1, 190-pounder said. "I pretty much know what I'm looking at. I'm just waiting to take my visits."

Harvin said he has spoken often with Landstown teammate Damon McDaniel about attending the same college. McDaniel is also a highly rated wide receiver. Harvin said McDaniel will accompany him on his visits to Florida and Miami.
