Tennessean lists 'way too early' top Middle Tennessee prospects for 2024

Post by BrentVU »

Every August the Tennessean publishes its "Dandy Dozen" top senior prospects from the Middle Tennessee area. On Thursday George Robinson published a "way too early" version with a few guys who will be seniors next year. Here's his list:

First Five:
Kaleb Beasley, CB Lipscomb - committed to UT
Mason Curtis, LB Ensworth - committed to Michigan
Ronan O'Connell, OT Page
Edwin Spillman, LB Lipscomb
Jaylen Thompson, CB Riverdale - committed to Michigan State

Second Five:
Ondre Evans ATH CPA
Crews Law LB CPA (brother plays baseball for Vanderbilt)
Luke Masterson OT FRA
John Wayne Oliver OT CPA
Hank Weber DL Brentwood Academy

Vanderbilt has made offers to all of these except Thompson and Weber.

Also interesting that all of these but two play for private schools.

Vandy will have three CPA alumni on its roster next year, two from Lipscomb, two from MBA, and one from Brentwood Academy.

It's quite obvious that some degree of "recruiting" happens with the private schools; to what degree that happens is a long discussion. However, in the TSSAA, the private schools compete in their own divisions against each other, somewhat mitigating the public vs. private debate.
