- 247Junior safety Miles Oldacre of Klein Oak High School in Spring, Texas, posted on his Twitter account Thursday that he received a scholarship offer from Tennessee.
"More than blessed to receive an offer from the University of Tennessee!! #GoVols," he tweeted.
It was the first Football Bowl Subdivision offer for the 5-foot-10, 185-pound Oldacre, who picked up his first offer last week from Columbia.

I've watched them, but I also don't know a lot about Tennessee. Tennessee has been recruiting me hard. I want to learn as much as I can. I'm looking forward to that trip because of that."
The staff in Knoxville has been doing a solid job with Taylor and he is slowly taking notice. "They just sent me an edit the other day," Taylor said. "I hear from coach Wells and I did hear from coach Z (Azzanni) before he left. I'm just getting to know coach Wells so I don't know him that well. I'm sure I'll talk to him more."
Taylor is long and athletic. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, he presents a big frame, but also has the wheels. "I think it's my speed and my hands," Taylor said. "I'm always working on my game because I think I can get better. But it's my speed and my hands because that's what most people tell me they like about my game. I think I'm explosive and can be a real difference maker."
So what is Taylor looking for? He's slowly figuring it out. "I want to find a place that feels like home," Taylor said. "I want a place that can make me a better player and a better man. A place where the coaches are good and I have the chance to play early."
