Family ties and familiar surroundings weren’t enough to convince Alton Howard to stay close to home and play at Central Florida. In the end, he couldn’t turn down Tennessee.

I watched to video of him committing, and his coach said as good as he is on the field, he's a better person off the field. This is a great get by CDD and CDH.

The Vols and Cross mutually agreed to part ways. Cross is now looking at other schools. UT was reevaluating him and so they agreed to split. He sounds like a great kid. I wish him well.
BTW, welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy it here.

Thank you - I missed that story. I guess by re-evaluating we thought maybe we could get an upgrade at that position?
Just surprising as I believe he was our first commit and typically those stick -
