KNOXVILLE — As the ink hits the paper on national letters of intent and the faxes begin rolling in this morning, the University of Tennessee’s football recruiting efforts have reached a full head of steam with three commitments the last two days.
After defensive back Byron Moore from Los Angeles Harbor Community College in Wilmington, Calif., committed to UT late Monday night, Memphis Central High School tight end Cameron Clear picked the Volunteers on Tuesday afternoon. Dwyer High linebacker Curt Maggitt from West Palm Beach, Fla., followed suit Tuesday night.
The three four-star prospects bring UT’s class to 26 players.
Maggitt, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 195 pounds, is a top-200 player and the No. 31 prospect in Florida according to Rivals.com. He chose UT over Florida and had offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and Florida State, among others.
The 6-6, 265-pound Clear is listed on most recruiting sites as an offensive tackle, but the state of Tennessee’s No. 2 prospect will begin his UT career at tight end, his position of choice.
