-247The four-star junior running back from Durham’s Hillside High School told 247Sports’ Ryan Bartow on Tuesday that the Vols are back on top among the more than 20 teams pursuing him, just ahead of Virginia Tech, following his visit to Tennessee last month for its first junior day of the year.
Elliott said he's already planning to visit the Vols again April 22 to attend their spring-ending Orange and White Game after returning to Virginia Tech on April 8.
“What caught my eye (at Tennessee) was (running backs) coach (Robert) Gillespie and (head) coach (Butch) Jones,” said Elliott, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 208 overall prospect and No. 8 running back in the 247Sports Composite for the 2018 class.
“Coach Jones actually had me in his office. We met. We talked good things, how they wanted to use me. They just basically want to use me like (former Tennessee running back) Alvin Kamara, and that’s a good thing for me.”
