Two Tennessee commitments that have not been announced by the school yet will be blueshirts, ATH Jocquez Bruce (South Doyle HS) from Knoxville and ATH Vincent Perry (Hillsboro HS) from Nashville. See more on that report and learn about the blueshirt concept (play before it counts against your scholarship number next year) from PrepXtra here.
Jimmy Hyams reports that the Vols signed 29 today on National Signing Day. Four of those players will be blueshirts, including Joc Bruce and Vincent Perry. The other two are not yet identified among the announced players but are likely in-state players. Vols can release signees who plan to blueshirt if they've already been admitted to UT. School can't release names if they haven't been admitted yet.

QB Zac Jancek – Knoxville, TN (Catholic HS) 6’5, 195
TE Eli Wolf – Minster, OH (Minster HS) 6’4, 205
K Laszlo Toser – Ooltewah, TN (Ooltewah HS) 5’9, 185
