Cameron Sparks Returning To Tennessee
The Tennessee Volunteers are wrapping up a big recruiting weekend. They landed three commits between two days: 2025 four-star corner Shamar Arnoux, 2024 three-star offensive tackle Jesse Perry, and three-star interior offensive lineman Gage Ginther.
They are in the midst of preparing for another important week. One of the biggest days will be Tuesday when they host 2025 five-star athlete Cameron Sparks. He plays for The Baylor School in Chattanooga, approximately two hours away from Tennessee's campus.
Most major programs are involved in his recruitment, but Tennessee is the current leader. 2025 is a long way away, and there's a lot of room to go, but the Volunteers have had him on campus numerous times since he began high school. Playing safety is about reading what's in front of you, especially if you cross-train. Sparks plays as a field-side safety, boundary-side safety, nickel corner, deep thirds safety, overhang linebacker, and either safety spot in Cover 2.
When Sparks decides to attack, his athleticism jumps off the screen. The 6-3 and 210 lbs. missile charges forward, quickly shifting momentum from his heels through the front of his hips.
Sparks's knees drive is elite; he continuously pushes his knees over his feet, eating up the turf. He gets to his top speed instantly, blowing by offensive players en route to the football. The unique thing about Sparks's athleticism is his stop-and-start ability. He can break down in space as well as he accelerates, meaning he can transition between speeds and adjust to the ball.
