The Tennessee Volunteers have made another key addition to their offensive line, securing the services of Max Anderson, a four-star recruit. Hailing from Reedy High School, Anderson’s commitment comes in the wake of his official visit to Knoxville earlier this month, bolstering the Vols’ prospects. The depth and strength of Tennessee’s recruiting pipeline only continues to solidify with this new addition.
Anderson’s decision to align with the Vols over other major contenders like Oklahoma Sooners and Michigan Wolverines comes as a significant boost for Tennessee. Their early interest in Anderson, marked by the initial offer from offensive line coach Glen Elarbee, seems to have played a pivotal role in winning over the young talent.
But let’s take a look at what the Vols are getting from ‘Big Max.’
