Summary

GoVols247’s full staff — Wes Rucker, Grant Ramey, Ryan Callahan and Patrick Brown — convened via Al Gore’s Internets to discuss Top247 Maryland defensive lineman KaTron Evans’ Saturday commitment to Tennessee.

Evans — the nation’s No. 179 overall prospect in the 2021 industry-generated 247Sports Composite — chose Tennessee over a list of at least 40 other offers, including some of the top programs in the current college landscape.

What kind of prospect is the 6-foot-4, 320-pound Evans? Is he definitely a nose guard, or can he play other spots up front? How important is the pipeline Tennessee is building to national powerhouse St. Frances Academy in Baltimore? What does this addition mean for the rest of Tennessee’s class, especially along the defensive front? What’s next for the red-hot Vols on the recruiting trail? Those are the primary points of discussion in this breaking-news episode.

The next GoVols247 Podcast episode will be released Monday, unless major breaking news occurs before that point.

0:43.9	Well, Tennessee, with another big pickup, adding to its 2021 class,
0:47.9	as they've done on a pretty frequent basis over the last couple of weeks,
0:51.2	this time adding four-star defensive tackle

0:58.5	composite longtime target a teammate of another Tennessee target that's announcing a little bit later
1:05.8	Aaron Willis the four-star linebacker and then also a former teammate of the
1:09.8	Tennessee freshman defensive linemen Dominic Bailey so a couple of useful ties here that maybe have helped Tennessee's cause, but I think a guy
1:16.1	that balls have been in good shape with for a while and now they beat out several other
1:20.2	major programs for him. A guy with 40 offers and addressing a major need
1:24.0	obviously on the defensive line where Tennessee is losing a bunch of guys after the
1:27.9	2020 season. So another huge pickup, another highly ranked guy adding to what was
1:32.3	already the number two recruiting class in the
1:34.0	country in the 24-7 sports composite team rankings.
1:37.0	Yeah, I hope people aren't getting numb to this whole top 200 player, top 24-7 player committing things, because that's still a really, really big deal,
