According to 247Sports, Carson finished the 2014 season with 101 tackles, five sacks, one pass break up and two forced fumbles.
Vols head coach Butch Jones and his staff have had some incredible recruiting success during their time on Rocky Top, but it’s going to be very tough for them to pull a player like Carson out of the state of Texas.
It’s entirely possible, but I wouldn’t look for it to happen. And that’s no sleight to Tennessee, that’s just how it goes sometimes in recruiting.
