Smith, ranked the #1 recruit in the 2017 football class, is a 6&#8217;6&#8221;, 299-pound offensive tackle from Jackson, Tennessee. Smith had a bucket of schools to pick from including Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Ohio State.<\/p>\n<p>The result of Smith committing to his in-state school could be that other top recruits will follow. However, the Volunteers lost a few verbal commitments after an extremely disappointing season. One thing is certain; Butch Jones is a helluva recruiter. The expectation is that Jones and the Volunteers will pick up one or two more big name recruits before signing day hits.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udd18\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\udcaf\ud83c\udfc6\ud83c\udf4a <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hHo1atikkW\">https:\/\/t.co\/hHo1atikkW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Trey Smith (@treysmith) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/treysmith\/status\/806362944854429696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trey Smith made Butch Jones&#8217; season a whole lot better by committing to the Tennessee Volunteers football team.
