Four-Star IOL William Satterwhite commits to Tennessee

Four-star interior offensive lineman William Satterwhite of Akron (OH) Archbishop Hoban announced his commitment to Tennessee Friday afternoon.

The 6-foot-3, 295 pounder chose the Vols over Clemson.

Satterwhite on why he chose Tennessee 

“Just the fact that there’s a better opportunity for me to get in the field earlier and possibly get a spot sooner as well. Their academics, especially their engineering is top tier.  Also just the goals the program has for the future. And they are a program with a new staff that have something to prove so I just love an underdog story.”

Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for him

“Great relationship with all the offensive staff but my best relationship is with Coach Elarbee and Coach Micah James. They see me as a guy who can come in and make an impact and work hard and earn and make a name for myself there.”

The Ohio offensive lineman joins coach Josh Heupel and the Volunteers’ Top 15 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by four-star quarterback Jake Merklinger, four-star athlete Boo Carter, and others.

Satterwhite ranks as the No. 210 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 13 interior offensive lineman and the No. 7 player in the state of Ohio.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $63K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
