Gabriel Jacas, Tulane Commit
The South Florida edge rusher officially visited Tennessee this weekend, according to Volquest.com after receiving an offer from the Vols in November.
The Tulane commit ranks as the nation’s 1,201 best player and 61st best edge rusher according to 247sports composite rankings.
Jacas committed to Tulane in July and has officially visited Illinois and Tennessee since.
Chas Nimrod, Tennessee commit
The Arkansas receiver has been a firm Tennessee commit since deciding Knoxville was the place for him in early August. Nimrod only visited Tennessee after his commitment, unofficially visiting for the Tennessee Tech game before officially visiting this weekend.
Nimrod ranks as the nation’s 549th best player and 75th best receiver according to the 247sports composite rankings and will sign with Tennessee this week.
