Rusty Wright and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team continue to add commitments for the 2019 signing class.
The Mocs received pledges from three players this past weekend, with that trio headlined by Marlon Taylor, a defensive lineman from Glynn Academy in Brunswick, Georgia. The 6-foot-2, 260-pound Taylor was the Region 2-AAAAAA defensive player of the year after registering 20 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and 17 quarterback pressures in 2018.
The other two commitments came from Alabama high school players.
Clay-Chalkville offensive lineman Brock Bethea (6-5, 310) chose the Mocs over several programs, including Football Bowl Subdivision members Florida Atlantic and South Alabama, as well as Mercer and Western Carolina, which compete alongside the Mocs in the Football Championship Subdivision’s Southern Conference.
Florence cornerback Jelen Lee (6-0, 175) was named to the Class 7A all-state second team after intercepting five passes, breaking up 10 passes and blocking four kicks in 2018.
