With rising sophomores Alonte Taylor and Bryce Thompson likely having the two outside cornerback spots nailed down for at least the next two years and with UT taking three cornerbacks in the 2019 class, this position doesn’t figure to be as big of a focus in the 2020 cycle. But there are still some names to remember here.
The top target at cornerback for the Vols is in-state four-star Keshawn Lawrence. The 6-foot-2 Lawrence plays for Ensworth and has offers from Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, and other top teams. He’s not going to be an easy pull, but Pruitt and his staff will likely make him a big priority.
A couple other in-state names to keep an eye on are De’Arre McDonald of Oakland High School in Murfreesboro and Yukari Blanchard of East Nashville Magnet School.
Tennessee may also try to work on flipping a couple prospects at this position. Alabama commit Malachi Moore and Oklahoma commit Darion Green-Warren would be the most likely candidates in that instance.
