Tennessee football returns four-star linebacker Jadon Perlotte from USC

Perlotte had been committed to USC since July. But he visited UT in November and his interest in the Vols grew. He took two more visits to USC, but ultimately chose UT.

Perlotte, a 6-foot-3, 202-pounder from Buford, Georgia, is ranked No. 30 linebacker and no. 282 overall by the 247Sports Composite. He received scholarship offers from nearly 40 schools, including most of the SEC.
