A.J. Branisel

Tight end, 6-4, 225

Chardon, Ohio (Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School)

Three stars

No. 788 overall

No. 32 tight end

No. 48 in Ohio

The skinny: Butch Jones and his staff immediately set out to bolster the Vols' tight end depth, and Branisel — a Cincinnati commitment from the Cleveland area — was the first player he turned to. The Vols need depth from Day 1, but with a junior college tight end also in this class, they might have the luxury of easing Branisel into action.
