Badara Traore, OL
Another player who is committed elsewhere but who has a lot of interest in the Vols, Badara Traore is a four-star JUCO offensive tackle who plays for ASA College in New York. Traore committed to LSU back on December 7th, but he visited Tennessee this weekend and has shown interest in the Vols since Jeremy Pruitt took over as head coach.
At 6-foot-7, 310 pounds, Traore has the size all SEC teams covet in an offensive tackle. And that’s why so many schools have offered him. He’s the No. 8 JUCO player in the country and the 2nd-ranked offensive tackle in the JUCO ranks. He holds offers from Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, and several others.
Once again, the Vols are hoping for a late flip from a player in this situation. It appears unlikely they can pull it off with Traore, but it’s not out of the question.
Probability: Low
