Tennessee Commit Recruited for Vols on Auburn Visit
The Tennessee Vols have been winning so far this offseason.
The excitement after a strong finish to the season, another Top 5 recruiting class, and lots of talent coming back, including star defensive player Curt Maggitt who announced his intentions to return, shows a very happy time for everybody in Knoxville.

And when things are going well, sometimes it’s nice to rub it in.
For Tenness Vols Recruit Preston Williams, an official visit to Auburn last week did just that. According to Rocky Top Insider, Williams, a 4-star athlete on Rivals, was sent home on his trip after trying to recruit for Tennessee while he was there. Here is what the site said:
"The rumors out of Auburn were that Williams was “being a distraction” and “disrupting the weekend,” but we are hearing that Williams was actually asked to leave by Auburn staff members because he showed up wearing nothing but Tennessee apparel and was actively recruiting other visitors to join him at Tennessee. Not exactly prototypical guest behavior for an official visitor, but that news isn’t likely to upset Vol fans too much."
And Preston Williams didn’t deny it either, retweeting the take UT Recruiting News took from this.
The report angered quite a few Auburn fans and had Tennessee fans laughing their heads off. Finally, the Vols dropped a little class and decided to play some hardball once again, something that was lacking in the Derek Dooley.
Honestly, this shows the state of recruiting more than anything.
But even if you are committed somewhere, why not take other visits? You get to enjoy all the benefits of it, and you get to waste the time of your rival schools. That’s something that could give you a competitive advantage once it is time to hit the field.
And hey, when has Auburn ever been a beacon of integrity?
