Tennessee fans likely thought their recruiting for the class of 2016 was over, but it looks like they get to add one more player to the roster before preseason camp starts in August. The Vols added big running back Jeremy Lewis to the mix after he initially committed to Arkansas State before enrolling in a JUCO school in Texas earlier in the year.

247Sports' Ryan Callahan is reporting that the former three-star running back has completed classes there and should be eligible to practice with the team in August. More from Callahan:
The 6-foot-1, 193-pound Lewis signed with Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas, earlier this year after decommitting from Arkansas State in January. He also received scholarship offers from Nebraska, Ohio and Tulsa.
A source close to the situation said Lewis, barring an unexpected academic snag, is expected to be officially added to Tennessee's roster in time for the start of preseason camp on Aug. 1.
Lewis was ranked as the No. 22 running back in the class of 2016 and becomes the 21st member of the class while joining Carlin Fils-Aime as the only two running backs in the class.
