2027 Georgia Recruit Shares Insight on Tennessee Vols’ Coaching Staff

The Tennessee Vols are among the leading contenders for 2027 three-star safety Alex Scott.

Scott, who is 5-foot-10 and weighs 180 pounds, hails from Lyons, GA. On3 ranks him as the No. 56 safety in the United States and the No. 61 player in Georgia.

The NC State Wolfpack and Texas A&M Aggies are also showing interest in Scott.

Alex Scott Praises Tennessee’s Coaching Staff

This week, Scott, who has visited Tennessee once, shared his thoughts on his recruitment with Rivals.com.

He stated that Tennessee has the best coaching staff “by far.” Scott mentioned, “I haven’t been to a Tennessee game yet, but I have been there on a visit. They probably have the best coaching staff, by far.”

This is a positive comment from a recruit who is gaining attention from elite programs. The Georgia Bulldogs are scheduled to host Scott for a visit this weekend.

It remains to be seen if Tennessee’s recognized coaching staff can sway Scott, as it appears he is not nearing a decision. Currently, Tennessee has four players committed to its 2027 recruiting class.
