Tennessee’s complete class of 25 commits dropped a big talent along the offensive line on Thursday when Georgia tackle Jordan Tucker decommitted.
Tucker committed to the Volunteers over the summer jumping onto the 2017 haul June 18. The massive 6-7, 335 pound, talent has numerous offers including ones from North Carolina, Louisville, South Carolina, Mercer, East Carolina, Minnesota, Colorado State, Maryland, Georgia Southern, Marshall, Southern Miss, Missouri, and Illinois.
Rumors and speculation started swirling after the decommitment once Virginia Tech offered. The Hokies have a commitment from Tucker’s Roswell High School teammate athlete Malik Willis.
Tucker posted his decommitment on Twitter telling everyone, “Just need more time to process things” followed by a statement:
Tennessee now has 24 verbal commitments to their 2017 recruiting class. Tucker was one of two offensive linemen committed.
