The Tennessee Volunteers added a crucial brick to their 2015 recruiting class on Friday morning when four-star cornerback Micah Abernathy committed to the Vols.

Abernathy, the nation’s No. 182 overall recruit and 19th best prospect in the state of Georgia, chose the Vols over offers from Georgia, Oregon, Alabama, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, USC and over a dozen others.

The 6-foot-1, 187-pound cornerback from Norcross, Georgia, gives the Vols their 26th known commitment in the 2015 class and their third from a projected secondary player.

Not only did the Vols add Abernathy, but they appear to be high on the list of a couple of their remaining top targets in the 2015 class.

Four-star defensive end Kyle Phillips of Nashville visited the Vols this past weekend for the game against Chattanooga and appears to be heavily considering Tennessee. Phillips is also looking at Ole Miss and LSU as well.

While in-state four-star offensive tackle Drew Richmond has been committed to Ole Miss for over a month, he still appears to have an interest in Tennessee. The Memphis product spent a 3-day weekend with the Vols this past weekend, and it seems likely he will visit Tennessee again in January.
