Ohio's top WR is 'very high on the Vols'

Vols fans are going to love the reason for it too.

L'Christian Smith is getting interest from all the big schools you can imagine and why shouldn't he? He's 6'5", 210 pounds as a rising junior at Huber Heights High School near Dayton, Ohio. He has offers from such contenders as Alabama, Michigan State, Penn State, Ohio State and Michigan. However, it's a moment had in Neyland Stadium that sticks out to him and why the Vols are so high on his list right now.

"I went to a game there a while ago, two or three years ago, before all this happened. I was actually on the field with my dad, and it was loud, and I loved that about Tennessee, how loud it is, because I feed off that when I'm playing. It never left my brain ... it was a special moment."

Smith also went on to say that he will be taking a trip down to Knoxville in the next month or so and visit with the staff. He wants to have a strong relationship with them and he believes that's the most important part of the process.

Smith is ranked the No. 4 receiver in the 2018 class by 247Sports, which also has him as the No. 94 overall player in the 2018 class and the No. 5 football prospect in talent-rich Ohio.
