Top recruits took notice of Tennessee's dominant win over Alabama, On3 reports

Tennessee's dominant victory over Alabama made an impression well beyond the final score, according to On3, which reported that top recruits reacted favorably to what the Volunteers showed in the win.

A result described as dominant over a program like Alabama carries obvious weight on the recruiting trail, where prospects weigh how a team performs in its biggest games. For Tennessee, a win of that nature offers a concrete selling point, giving recruits a recent example of the Volunteers beating a top opponent in convincing fashion.

What it means for Tennessee is momentum that can be used in recruiting conversations. The original report gathers the reactions from those recruits, and their response will matter as the Volunteers work to turn a single impressive weekend into commitments.
