Tennessee is at 10 football commitments for the 2022 signing cycle after receiving a nonbinding pledge Saturday afternoon from three-star offensive lineman Maurice "Mo" Clipper from the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta.
The 6-foot-4, 299-pounder out of Milton High School is the No. 39 interior offensive lineman and the No. 791 recruit nationally, according to the 247Sports.com composite rankings. He took visits last month to Georgia Tech, Louisville, Tennessee and Virginia Tech, picking the Volunteers over Louisville and Virginia Tech.
As Milton's right tackle last season, Clipper did not allow a sack and did not commit a penalty.
"I like their style of play, and I feel like that if I do what I need to do that I could play early potentially," Clipper told 247Sports. "That's always a good thing. They see me as a tackle, but I could play both (tackle and guard). It just depends on the depth chart."
Tennessee's 10 commitments, which are comprised of four-star quarterback Tayven Jackson and nine three-star prospects, are ranked 41st nationally.
