Vols Football 2015 Offers: Defensive Ends

9. Emmanuel Olenga

Of all the defensive end prospects the Vols are pursuing in 2015 that have not already committed to them, Emmanuel Olenga looks to be the most likely to add his name to the list of future Vols.

A Charlotte, North Carolina native, Olenga is a 3-star strong-side defensive end prospect  who is quickly rising in recruiting rankings. At 6-4, 235 lbs, he possesses the athleticism and frame every college wants in a solid pass rusher, and he can even add more weight to his frame without affecting his quickness.

While he currently only holds offers from Tennessee and Old Dominion, he is drawing interest from top programs now, such as Clemson, Missouri, and North Carolina. The Vols look to be the smart ones by offering him so early, but they’ll have quite a battle on their hands with other teams coming on now.

Right now, Tennessee is the heavy favorite to land Olenga, but if his recruitment continues as it has been lately, things could always change between now and National Signing Day.
