Watch: Tennessee target Tee Higgins destroys entire high school defense in practice
Published:
Oak Ridge five-star receiver Tee Higgins isn’t just Tennessee’s top target at the position in 2017, he’s on nearly every nationally elite programs radar for the upcoming recruiting class. Formerly a Vol commit, Higgins decided to re-open his recruitment for his senior year and still has Tennessee near the top of his list.
As discussed last week, Tennessee has wisely decided to host in-state high school teams, featuring high-profile recruits, for practice at their state-of-the-art Anderson Training Center. This week UT hosted Oak Ridge and star recruit Higgins for a Friday night practice.
During the practice, Higgins showed just why he’s so coveted with one simple play. Check out this amazing run after the catch Higgins showed off after catching a short bubble screen:

Higgins wasn’t satisfied with one highlight catch either. Here he is doing his best Randy Moss impersonation:

It sure looks like Higgins could suit up for the Vols this season and make an impact. The Oak Ridge star has both football and scholarship offers from Tennessee. Higgins’ latest Top 10 also includes Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss from the SEC:

Wherever he lands, you can expect Higgins to make an immediate impact during the 2017 season.
