Tennessee looks to extend recruiting reach into Louisiana
The Vols are among the hottest teams in the nation following their rout of Iowa in the TaxSlayer Bowl and second consecutive top 10 recruiting class signed in February.
With running back coach Robert Gillespie taking over as the team's recruiting coordinator for the 2016 cycle, the Vols are attempting to paint the state of Louisiana orange.
I'm loving all of the love The Vols are getting while in the Shreveport area! A ton of talent. #GeauxVols #WhosNext #BeDifferent??

Tennessee already has one commit in the fold from the area, wide receiver Cory Henderson committed in March, and it appears Gillespie is challenging other playmakers in the area to join the Big Orange.
The next generation of #WRU is being breed in Shreveport! #BeDifferent #Vols

Louisiana is home to a number of elite prospects the Vols are actively recruiting: defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence, offensive tackle Willie Allen, cornerback Kristian Fulton and defensive end Andre Anthony are all players from the state the team would love to sign.
Will Gillespie's challenge of #BeDifferent pay off? We'll know come signing day.
