Four-star cornerback Jalyn Crawford released his top 11 earlier this week with Tennessee football making the cut.

The Vols joined Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech, Louisville, LSU, Miami, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas A&M in Crawford’s top group.

Crawford ranks as a four-star recruit and the No. 141 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. The 6-foot, 180 pound prospect also ranks as the No. 15 cornerback and No. 25 player in the state of Georgia in the 2024 recruiting cycle.

A Lilburn, Georgia native, Crawford stars at Parkview High School in the greater Atlanta area and is one of the top defensive backs in the state.

Tennessee has gotten Crawford on campus a handful of times with the talented corner visiting Knoxville three times in the last year including for the Alabama game last fall and one of the Vols’ January Junior Days.

However, Tennessee hasn’t gotten Crawford on campus as frequently as some of its top competition for the prospect. The four-star recruit has visited both Auburn and LSU four times in the past year and has June official visits scheduled to both schools.

Crawford has only visited Florida once to this point but also has a June official visit scheduled to Gainesville.

Tennessee football’s 2024 recruiting class currently contains 10 commitments including from three defensive backs. However, only four-star Nashville native Kaleb Beasley projects as a cornerback at the college level.

The Vols’ recruiting class ranks 10th nationally according to the 247sports team rankings.
