Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media Wednesday and discussed the Vols' signing class.
"This is always a huge day for the future of our program," Heupel said. "So excited about the guys that we have signed. I want to thank all of our organization. There's so many people that go into it. It starts with our personnel department, our coaches developing relationships, being out on the road. It takes our administration's support, its professors on campus, certainly our content team. Everybody that goes into such a pivotal role in the recruiting process, so I want to thank them but I really should've started with I want to thank the families, the coaches and the recruits themselves for entrusting us with their future, their sons future, one of their players futures, the chance that we have an opportunity to play such a vital role in them chasing their goals and dreams. I want to thank them for all their efforts, but also just entrusting us with them.
"I think our staff did a great job here in state, from the moment I got here I said it was important for us to go recruit it the right way. It doesn't mean that we take every player, but that we recruited the right way, able to sign the top defensive player in the state, Joel Wyatt, top offensive lineman Gabriel Osenda. Thought our staff did a great job here inside the state of Tennessee, and the bordering states as well."
