Nine official visitors for UT this weekend

Tennessee will host nine official visitors this weekend for the South Carolina game.

The following players are scheduled to be in town:

n Ken Adams: The Vols aren't stopping at seven committed defensive linemen. Adams, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound defensive end from Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss., is also considering Auburn.

n Demar Dorsey: A Florida commitment for more than a year, the 6-1, 175-pound defensive back is from Boyd Anderson High in Lauderdale Lakes, Fla. He is also considering Alabama and West Virginia.

n Chris Dunkley: UT freshman receiver Nu'Keese Richardson should help the Vols with Dunkley, a 5-10, 165-pound receiver. The two were teammates at Pahokee (Fla.) High. Dunkley is also considering Georgia, LSU, Miami, Southern California and Alabama.

n Christian Jones: At 6-4 and 220 pounds, Jones has the frame to excel in college. The linebacker from Lake Howell in Winter Park, Fla., is considering several schools. He has official visits scheduled to Notre Dame and Southern California. The Florida schools are also worth watching.

n Ted Meline: A bit of a surprise commitment in September, the 6-2, 170-pound receiver from North Miami (Fla.) High will be making his first trip to Knoxville this weekend.

n Dequan Menzie: Another prospect from Copiah-Lincoln Community College, the 5-11, 200-pound cornerback is also considering Alabama and Southern Miss, both of which have reportedly offered.

n Corey Miller: One of two defensive ends from Byrnes High in Duncan, S.C., to commit to UT in September, Miller and Brandon Willis are considered two of the top defensive end prospects in the nation.

Terrence Mitchell: The Vols will try to dip into Florida again for Mitchell, a 5-10, 165-pound cornerback from Hillsborough High in Tampa. Florida State, Georgia, North Carolina and South Florida are also in the mix.

n Brandon Willis: The 6-4, 250-pound defensive end from Byrnes committed to UT in September along with Miller despite a strong push by Florida State to land the duo.
