2028 athlete Cole Pollock recaps his recent visit to Tennessee

Cole Pollock, an athlete in the 2028 class, has detailed his visit to Tennessee, giving the Volunteers an early look at where they stand with a young prospect who is still years away from signing.

Visits like this one matter in the long arc of recruiting, even for a 2028 player. Getting a prospect on campus early lets Tennessee make a first impression and lets the player picture himself in the program before his recruitment fully takes shape.

For Tennessee, the takeaway is simply that Pollock took the time to visit and came away willing to talk about the experience. How that interest develops will depend on what happens next in a recruitment that has a long way still to run.
