The Tennessee Volunteers are expecting another big recruiting weekend this Saturday as the Vols host SEC rival Alabama.
The game against the Crimson Tide will be the first SEC home game since the Vols hosted Florida back on Oct. 4. Several recruits and Vol commits are expected to make unofficial visits this weekend, and at least three recruits are expected to make official visits.
Four-star wide receiver Ryan Newsome, four-star running back Bryce Love and North Carolina offensive tackle commitment William Sweet are expected to make their first official visits to Knoxville this weekend.
Newsome’s trip to see the Vols will be his fourth visit in the month of October as he has already taken visits to Ole Miss, UCLA and Texas. He currently holds offers from over two dozen schools, including Oklahoma, Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Oregon among others.
Bryce Love has been a top target for the Vols for quite some time and has expressed interest in visiting Tennessee for a while. He has taken a couple visits to both North Carolina and East Carolina, and Stanford and Virginia Tech appear to be two teams giving the Vols the biggest fight for Love.
The Vols are in desperate need of offensive line help for the future of the program, and flipping William Sweet from the Tar Heels would be a big steal. Sweet has been committed to North Carolina since April of this year, but he has taken visits to Florida and Florida State within the past month.
