Tennessee rolled out the orange carpet for the first Orange Carpet Day of the summer, an event where the Vols look to get as many top recruits on campus as possible.
This weekend didn’t have the star power that was originally thought possible because quarterback Jarrett Guarantano and his group of New Jersey-area top prospect friends ended up delaying their trip down, but several top prospects did make it in town. Here’s some social media reaction from the event:
