KNOXVILLE - Quarterback Justin Worley from Rock Hill, S.C., committed to the University of Tennessee football program this morning, giving the Volunteers their sixth Class of 2011 commitment.
The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Worley, who is rated a three-star prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com, chose UT over offers from Notre Dame, LSU, Florida State and others.
Worley, who confirmed the news via text message, has been at or near the top of the Vols' quarterback recruiting board since Lane Kiffin was their head coach. He remained a top priority after Derek Dooley took the job in January.
