Flemmons was one of the Hurricanes' top players on offense last season, when he had 1,300 all-purpose yards, primarily as a wide receiver but with some time at quarterback. He's expected to spend a lot more time behind center as a senior this year.

East Hamilton’s Jeremiah Flemmons is spending the summer before his senior year of high school turning heads at football camps and becoming one of the fastest-rising college prospects in the state.

Flemmons made the most of a big opportunity June 4 at the University of Tennessee’s camp at Neyland Stadium, where he impressed at receiver and defensive back and was one of the top performers.

“I have been to a lot of camps this summer, but the most memorable one has to be the Tennessee camp,” said the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Flemmons, whose favorite player growing up was Volunteers legend Peyton Manning, who is set for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame next month. “Being able to show my talents to the school I’ve wanted to play for since I was little was really a unique experience.”

Flemmons has posted a 35-inch vertical leap and was clocked at 4.50 seconds in the 40-yard dash at a recent Vanderbilt camp, and his on-field performances for East Hamilton last year helped him become one of the contenders to make the upcoming Times Free Press Dynamite Dozen preseason list of top area recruits.

He has offers from Army, Eastern Kentucky, Howard, Navy, Shorter, UT Martin and Wofford, and his recruitment has the potential to skyrocket in the coming months if not sooner.
