Jaylen McClain narrows down recruitment

Jaylen McClain has revealed the names of the shortlisted colleges where he could possibly play his trade. Tennessee is on the list as well and is likely the favorite to attract the player.

The defensive backfield is one area where Tennessee lacks quality and needs to improve. The Volunteers struggled to cope with opposing wideouts and often left themselves open for explosive plays.

Thus, the Volunteers have decided to step into recruiting as they hope to bolster their backfield. The finest defensive backs are looking toward Tennessee and so is safety Jaylen McClain. He was earlier spotted with head coach Josh Heupal, posing for a picture as he visited Knoxville in January. His list is known to have the ten top schools in the country.

Potential Destinations

McClain has his eyes set on Tennessee, Notre Dame, Georgia, Oregon, Stanford, USC, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Rutgers. He comes from West Orange, New Jersey and stands at Six-feet, and weighs 185 lbs. Apart from that, he even runs for Seton Hall Prep where he recorded a 100-yard dash in 11.06 seconds.  

The boy has incredible instincts and can cover ground quickly. He can benefit from switching his position from safety to corner considering his stature. McClain has raw skills with the ball but he will eventually get nurtured and polished once he reaches the next level.
