Evaluating Tennessee football’s 2021 edge rusher class at dead period
Prospects still in play
Note: These are prospects who haven’t given any indication of Tennessee football being at the top of their list. However, the Vols have offered them, and there are no signs that they are out of the running for the players.
As a result, they are more than just potential prospects but not enough to be top prospects. The sheer number of prospects who fall into this category warrants us making a specific page just for them. Keep an eye on what decisions they make in the future.
