Tennessee Has In-Home Visit With 5-Star SEC Commit

2024 five-star defensive lineman Dominick McKinley (Lafayette, La.) is a Texas A&M pledge but has set up several in-home visits, including one with the Tennessee Volunteers.
In this story:

The Tennessee Volunteers have taken a few hits in their 2024 class ahead of early national signing day. They lost out on five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, and long-time tight end commit Jonathan Echols flipped to USF. Still, the coaching staff continues to take swings with premier prospects to close the cycle.

Five-star Texas A&M defensive line commit Dominick McKinley is open to hearing pitches again, and Tennessee has his ear. According to On3's Gerry Hamilton, Tennessee met with McKinley for an in-home visit on Monday evening. They aren't the only suitors in the race - McKinley also met with Syracuse on Monday and will meet with Texas A&M, LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas before the end of the week.
