WR JaVonta Payton
Payton, an in-state target form Hillsboro High School (the same school as Kyle Phillips), seemed to fall below the radar in the fall, but as the need has increased at wide receiver, so has the interest in the three-star prospect. Payton visited Knoxville two weekends ago and seemed to come away impressed. He has a comfort level with some of the commitments in this class and some of the players on the team. Ole Miss jumped in on him late, and he gave the Rebels a later visit last week. Like with Pouncey, it’s tough to say if the Vols have room in the class for another receiver. There’s enough interest here from both sides to at least keep an eye on him come next Wednesday.
