Butch Jones "Scavenges" For Elite Defensive Lineman

[Whitey23]

Coach Jones gets creative in the recruitment of 5-star Defensive Tackle Kahlil McKenzie, and our old friend Jon Gruden even lends a helping hand.


The Courting of Kahlil McKenzie

Kahlil McKenzie is a five-star DT from Concord, CA who 247 Sports rates as the 10th best overall prospect in the class of 2015. He's a certifiable stud, and we want him bad. Many expect him to pick the Vols because both his uncle Raleigh and his father Reggie, who is the GM of the Oakland Raiders, are Knoxville natives and former Vol players.

But Butch isn't taking any chances. McKenzie is still deciding between UT and Arizona and will make his decision on July 10th. And so Jones decided to send McKenzie on a "scavenger hunt" -- which began June 4 and will end July 10th (the day McKenzie plans to make his decision) -- in which McKenzie has to locate a UT "bucket hat" in a picture and then post it to his twitter account.1

Butch is an odd duck.

Also, there's a suitcase with cash waiting for him at a Motel 6. And the hat thing.

Is Gruden allowed to recruit for Tenn?

Don't know, but I would imagine the other SEC schools have reported it just in case it's a violation.
