QB Commit Kaden Craft and Fellow Recruits Leave Neyland Sold on Tennessee

Tennessee's biggest win of the season doubled as a recruiting showcase. Quarterback commitment Kaden Craft was in Neyland Stadium for the Volunteers' victory over Alabama, along with several other top prospects, and the experience left an impression on the group.

Craft, the prized passer in Tennessee's class, made clear that what he saw matched what he has been looking for. He believes Josh Heupel and the Volunteers have everything he wants in a program, and a night like Saturday — a toppled Alabama team and an electric home crowd — only reinforced the fit. The other top recruits in attendance came away loving the experience as well.

Recruiting battles are often won on weekends like this one. Tennessee could not control much more than the product on the field, and the Vols delivered a statement win in front of the very players they hope will headline future rosters. Keeping Craft locked in, and converting visiting prospects into future commitments, is the kind of momentum that can carry a recruiting class.
