Status
Butch Jones and his staff have recruited Virginia more than previous coaching staffs have at Tennessee, so it should come as no surprise that they’re in good shape with Breyon Gaddy, who is the twin brother of defensive lineman Brandon Gaddy, who the Vols are in great shape with too. The massive defensive tackle has offers from all across the country, and he recently named Tennessee his leader. Clemson and Florida State are hot on the trail, however.

How he fits
Not only is Breyon Gaddy humongous, but he has superb athleticism as well. His highlight film shows him catching a pass for a touchdown and returning a fumble for a score in two separate games.
Gaddy won’t be seen on offense if he comes to Tennessee, but athletic defensive tackles are hot commodities at any program. And he’s the type of defensive tackle Tennessee’s coaching staff rave over.
