For the second year in a row, Butch Jones has put together a top five recruiting class.

Here come the Vols. The SEC East better watch out because Tennessee is going for the crown. For the second year in a row, Butch Jones has put together a top five recruiting class.

According to recent history, the East seems to be up for grabs. Missouri has more or less backed into the title for the past two years in a row. Florida has been down for a few years and South Carolina appears to be on the decline. Georgia has been loaded with talented but suffers from chronic underachievement.

At this rate, in a few years Georgia will be the only team that can match Tennessee on a talent level. Although, even an overmatched Volunteer team gave the Bulldogs fits this year, even though UGA was at full strength.

This years class is highlighted by four five-star prospects. Defensive Tackle, Kahlil McKenzie, from California is the prize of the incoming class. Alvin Kamara is a fantastic tailback transferring from Alabama and the other two five-stars are in-state players: offensive linemen, Drew Richmond, and defensive end, Kyle Phillips.

There are also 13 four-star commits and 11 three-star commits.
