Tennessee is getting set to host three important prospects in the 2019 recruiting class.
Those prospects all attend Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga.
The trio is headlined by Owen Pappoe, who is a 5-star prospect and the nation’s No. 1 outside linebacker in the upcoming class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He’s the No. 5 overall prospect in the country.
Kenyatta Watson is a 4-star safety. He’s rated as the nation’s 13th-best prospect at his position, according to the Composite. Ronald Thompkins is a 4-star prospect and the nation’s No. 27 athlete.
It is unclear whether the trio will be prepared to commit to a school as a package deal once the recruiting process is done, but Tennessee will at least have all three players on campus at the same time next weekend.
All three are incredibly talented players.
As Saturday Down South news desk editor Michael Bratton pointed out on Sunday, Watson just decommitted from Florida State:
