"I’m definitely looking forward to speaking with Coach Inge. We've already had a great relationship; we’ve spoken multiple times, and we just have a good relationship," Boyd said.

This isn't his first visit to Knoxville, but there is still a goal for him on this visit.

"This visit, being my second one with the first game, and now this one will definitely get me more familiar with some other coaches, and hopefully I can earn an offer from these coaches and be at home here in Knoxville," Boyd said.

He would then detail what this Tennessee visit looks like from a game perspective.

"This game in particular will definitely show me a lot that Knoxville and the fans have to offer and the hospitality that this team shows," Boyd said.

Finally, the talented prospect, who was previously committed to Bowling Green, detailed what his message is to Tennessee fans.

"My message to Tennessee fans is to watch me. I’ve got a great season coming up, and I'm looking to be at home in Knoxville, GBO," Boyd said.
