Elite potential prospects

Note: These are elite prospects who have narrowed their lists in most cases with Tennessee football on the outside looking in. As a result, they are just getting a mention here, although the Vols should not give up on them since they haven’t committed to any school as of Thursday, July 2, 2020. It’s just highly unlikely that they’ll land anybody on here.
