The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program picked up a commitment Friday morning from Tim Frizzell, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker from Hardin Valley High School in Knoxville.
Frizzell chose the Mocs over Richmond. He also had offers from Western Carolina and Austin Peay.
“I am very blessed and thankful for all the teams that have offered me a chance to play at the next level. But after much thought, prayer and consideration, I have decided to continue my football career and education at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga!!! #GoMocs,” Frizzell posted to his Twitter page.
He had 101 tackles during his senior season for the Hawks, despite playing in only 10 games due to a knee injury suffered against Bearden on Sept. 2. He had seven games of at least 10 tackles, including his final six, while adding an interception against Bradley Central, one fumble caused and two fumble recoveries.
He becomes the Mocs’ 17th high school commitment for the 2017 signing class and third linebacker to commit, joining Zach Feaster from Beauregard High School in Alabama and Jahsari Patterson from Cairo, Ga. In addition, former Baylor School quarterback Nick Tiano has transferred in from Mississippi State.
