Yes, there are in-state prospects Tennessee football should target. Myles Pollard hails from the Nashville area out of Ravenwood High School in Williamson County. Standing between 6’1″ and 6’2″ and weighing in the range of 180 to 185 pounds, Pollard is a three-star across the board, the only player on this list not a unanimous four-star.

Although he doesn’t have as elite ratings, this list is about Michigan players the Vols can raid. Obviously, in-state players who went up north are at the top of the list, and Pollard, while he may not have the raw immediate potential, certainly has elite level talent.

That makes him a pretty obvious person for Josh Heupel and his staff to go after. Pollard is the second defensive back on this list, but he’s the first player listed as a cornerback on any service, and that’s his label across the board. Given his size, he will be able to guard bigger wideouts, particularly in the SEC, so he could be a huge pickup.

Pollard’s commitment to Michigan was way back last summer, but that doesn’t mean the Vols can’t flip him given what’s changed. It will likely depend on how the rest of the staff shakes out, but Heupel is in a much better position to recruit an in-state guy than he was when Pollard committed in the first place.
