“I have a great bond with the coaches [at Tennessee],” Hiter said. “Coach De’Rail Sims came in and he built a great bond with me.”
He added that he has a “great bond” with Georgia running backs coach Josh Crawford.
Hiter visited Michigan for the Wolverines’ end-of-July recruiting event.
“It was fun,” Hiter told On3. “I got to connect with Coach Tony (Alford) and the rest of the staff. I got to meet with Coach (Sherrone) Moore. It was good to see them again. I got to hang out with other recruits like Brady Hart and Jasper Parker. Jasper showed me around and stuff. It was a great visit.”
