Marvin Austin
|
6-3, 300
|
DT
|
Washington, D.C.
|
Ballou
|
|
The best undecided prospect in the nation. UT
still in it but the safe money is on Florida State. Also considering
Southern Cal, North Carolina and Maryland.
|

|
Jourdon Brooks
|
6-1, 240
|
RB/LB
|
Germantown, Md.
|
Seneca Valley
|
|
Teammates with DL Donald Langley, who is enrolled
at UT. Also considering Illinois and Rutgers. Could play linebacker or
be a power runner to compliment UTs stable of tailbacks.

|
Morgan Burnett
|
6-1, 185
|
S
|
College Park, Ga.
|
North Clayton
|
|
Georgia Tech commitment who is friends with UT
pledge Eric Berry. A departure by Yellow Jackets coach Chan Gailey to
the Miami Dolphins would have helped UT. Instead, Gailey stayed.

Lennon Creer
|

Tatum, Texas
|
Tatum

Maybe the hardest of all to predict. Considering
Texas and Oklahoma State. High school teammates with Darnius Moore, who
committed to UT on Christmas but has varied his story since.
|

|
Carlos Dunlap
|
6-4, 245
|
DL
|
North Charleston, S.C.
|
Fort Dorchester
|
|
Big, athletic, highly touted defensive lineman who
would be icing on the cake for the Vols 2007 class. UT has a good
history of pulling defensive linemen from South Carolina thanks to
recruiter John Chavis.

Curenski Gilleylen

Leander, Texas

Wide receiver isnt exactly a position of
need for UT. So if the Vols pursue this prospect heavily, then they
must really think he can play.
|
||||
|
Cory Hall
|
6-5, 260
|
DL
|
Chattanooga
|
Brainerd
|
|
Long-armed, rangy lineman with exciting potential.
Actually committed to UT last fall before he was offered. Academic
issues will have to be overcome.
|
||||
|
Dwight Jones
|
6-4, 210
|
WR
|
Burlington, N.C.
|
Cummings
|
|
One of the best receivers in the nation. Committed
to North Carolina for almost a year but that was to John Buntings
coaching staff, which was replaced. No ties to Tar Heels now. Could
this be Montario Hardesty Part II?
|
||||
|
Nevin McKenzie
|
6-2, 210
|
S
|
Athens, Texas
|
Trinity Valley CC
|
|
This could be UTs most coveted undecided
prospect. Considering S Demetrice Morleys dismissal, UT could use
some immediate help from a junior college safety. Remember Julian
Battle or Gibril Wilson.
|

|
Michael McNeil
|
6-2, 200
|
S
|
Mobile, Ala.
|
Davidson
|
|
UT would love another safety for this years
class. But is it too late for this one? Hes had a pocket full of
big-time offers for months.
|

|
Brandon Paul
|
5-10, 185
|
CB
|
Tallahassee, Fla.
|
Lincoln
|
|
Any school would make room for this sticky
cornerback? Schools dont often pull top Tallahassee prospects
away from Florida State, but UT is taking a shot.
|

|
Rae Sykes
|
6-4, 245
|
DE
|
Alcoa
|
Alcoa

Defensive end deciding between UT and Florida
State in January. This sounds familiar. Brandon Warren is recruiting
Sykes to join him in Tallahassee.
