July is officially here and let's just say that Tennessee football and Josh Heupel are looking to start things off with a bang. To close out June, Heupel and his staff picked up four commitments over a two-day stretch last week.

Are more commits coming on Wednesday? All signs are pointing to that being the case. That's right, 4-star linebacker TJ White will be announcing his college decision and 4-star defensive lineman Dereon Albert is going to be doing the same. Oh and for those of you who will be following closely, their announcements are all set for 2 p.m. ET:

4-star LB TJ White is expected to commit to Tennessee and Josh Heupel

Starting off with White, he's a 6-1, 230-pounder from Jackson, Miss. He has picked up 30 offers throughout his recruitment, but Tennessee, Auburn, Florida State and Mississippi State are his finalists. That's some stiff competition for Heupel and Co.

According to the 247Sports Composite, the Vols target is ranked the No. 7 linebacker in the country, No. 5 player from Mississippi and No. 113 prospect nationally for his class. Soon enough, we'll find out if he'll be Knoxville-bound or not for his college career.

Tennessee football is in a great spot to also land 4-star DL Dereon Albert

Hey, we're not going to forget about Albert, as he was also in town last month for his official visit. White visited on June 13 and Albert was also on campus with him. The two clearly had a great time, which has the Vols in the hunt leading up to their decisions.

Albert holds 32 offers, but he's down to North Carolina and Tennessee. It's going to take a while to get used to seeing Tennessee going head-to-head with Bill Belichick for an elite prospect, but we sure hope Heupel proverbially stuffs the legendary coach in a locker here. It could be a day to remember for the Vols. Don't be shocked if White and Albert BOTH decide they'll be donning orange at the next level.
