The NFL Draft on Saturday was a perfect reminder that while former Vols are moving on to the NFL, the show must go on at Tennessee.
With that in mind, the Vols offered 2016 defensive back Nigel Warrior on Saturday.
Finally got my offer from University of Tennessee 💯#UT

Warrior, the son of former Vols defensive back Dale Carter, has not yet been rated by 247Sports.
Warrior, who is 6’1″/177 lbs and from Atlanta, GA (Westlake), currently has offers from Kentucky, Minnesota, NC State, Ohio State, Old Dominion, Savannah State and Wisconsin.
It’s very important to Tennessee to lock down Vol legacies. They did a great job of that in 2014 and it was a huge component of their successful recruiting class this year.
Just being a Vol legacy doesn’t mean UT can let up in Warrior’s recruitment. If anything it means they have to be even more aggressive.
