Tennessee loses a recruit to Azusa Pacific

[Problem2]

Holy **** how embarrassing


"You read the headline right.

Fullerton (Calif.) offensive lineman Cody Clay has chosen to play his college ball at Azusa Pacific over SEC and other offers. Clay was a qualifier out of high school and nearly enrolled late at UCLA after his first season.
But Clay opted to return to Fullerton and play his second season at the school. Utah, Fresno State and Connecticut offered in his second year along with Tennessee.

After taking an official visit to Knoxville last weekend the three-star returned home and decided to play for Azusa Pacific.

"I've always been a behind-the-scenes kind of guy and I don't need the big stage," Clay said. "I felt I could get the same coaching from coach (Jackie) Slater as I could at Tennessee or Uconn. "

Best part of the quote, IMO - UT and UConn in the same breath now...

Not to mention, Jackie Slater might know a thing or two about the OL.

I actually know a couple people who went to Azusa Pacific, it has a beautiful campus. I'm slightly guessing that one of the main reasons for his decision might be his faith, it is a private Christian school.

Maybe Tennessee pulled his offer? I doubt we have the full story but if true, good.
