After hinting for weeks that he might withdraw his commitment from Tennessee and pledge his allegiance to South Carolina, Stephens County running back Tauren Poole is now set to become a full-fledged Volunteer.
The 5-foot-10.5, 197-pound running back graduated from Stephens County in late December and plans to enroll at Tennessee this month.
“Right now, I’m on my way to Tennessee,” Poole said. “I’m headed to Knoxville on Tuesday, Jan. 8.”
Poole said Tennessee’s coaches plan to allow him input on whether he’s redshirted this fall.
But Poole’s chances of being on the Volunteers’ roster this fall- and possibly getting some playing time as a freshman - should be enhanced by his participation in spring practice.
“The coaches felt if I wanted to play and make an impact, I needed to go early,” said Poole, who plans to study Sports Management.
