“It was electric,” Hiter told Volquest following the visit. “I mean, people are just together as a family, cheering for everybody and everybody rooting for Tennessee… I expected big out of Tennessee, and I got what I expected.”
Hiter reiterated at the time that the Vols have had a strong bond with him since his freshman year.
“I mean, I’m a priority to them,” Hiter said. “I feel like they made it known that they want me, and I made it known that they’re one of my top schools right now.
“I have the best relationship with them the most since my freshman year, and I built it with Coach (Aston) Walter and I had it with Coach (Jerry) Mack before Coach Sims came. And now I have it with Coach Sims.”
Savion Hiter’s On3 Scouting Summary
Gifted runner with an advanced blend of athleticism, fluidity and instincts as a high school underclassman. Physicallydeveloped, measuring in at over 5-foot-11 and around 190 pounds prior to his sophomore season. Registers as a strong athlete, running an 11.11 second mark in the 100-meters as a freshman. Also jumped close to 45 feet in the triple jump – an outstanding mark. Turned in a dominant freshman season, rushing for 1,526 yards and 24 touchdowns, averaging 11.7 yards per carry. Looks to be a natural runner. An extremely fluid and smooth mover who changes directions effortlessly. Cuts on a dime and makes defenders miss in space. Runs with the pace and instincts of a much older player. Has the burst and athleticism to pull away from the defense once in the open field. A phenomenal high school football player who also makes big plays on defense. Has the potential and upside to be one of the best running back prospects in several cycles.
