The No. 1 JUCO prospect from the 2016 recruiting class, Jonathan Kongbo isn't backing down from any of the top-tier SEC squads.
After talking up beating Florida, Kongbo made another proclamation, via Rocky Top Insider:
"I know we're going to beat Alabama. We're going to beat all those teams. So I'll say right now, we're going to beat every team we play next year."
Tennessee is a favorite to win the SEC East, and Kongbo knows to be the best, you've got to beat the best — including the defending National Champions:
"I mean, kind of the main thing is, if you want to be the best you got to beat the best. And we know Alabama won the national championship this year and the message that I'm sending to them is that ain't no one around here scared of that. We're coming for them. It's football so once the pads are on, you've got to figure out how to win so we'll see."

Kongbo apparently went on Twitter not too long after the article was published to clarify his stance:
Until then, Kongbo's message will be "Bama, we coming!"
Kongbo and the Vols host the Crimson Tide on Saturday, October 15.
