JJ Peterson
Four-star linebacker
Hometown: Moultrie, Ga.
National Rank: 48
Analysis from govols247.com's Ryan Callahan:
"Tennessee beat out Alabama, which was a long-time favorite largely because of Jeremy Pruitt's hiring at Tennessee. Pruitt was his primary recruiter at Alabama and also has a close relationship with Peterson's high school coach, Rush Propst. Pruitt worked on his staff at Hoover High School in Alabama and they have a close relationship so that played a big part in Tennessee landing him."
"A big, athletic physical linebacker who's capable of playing multiple spots on Tennessee's defense. One of Tennessee's biggest pickups in the 2018 class."
