Tennessee running backs coach De’Rail Sims and Joey Halzle were in Virginia on Wednesday to check in on Hiter during an in-home visit.
Hiter was most recently on Tennessee’s campus in November for the Vols 28-18 victory over Kentucky. He left the stop impressed.

“It was electric,” Hiter told Volquest at the time. “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 has reiterated plans to continue taking visits to his top five schools, including the Vols and most likely make a decision ahead of Senior season.
Hiter’s On3 Scouting Summary
“Gifted runner with an advanced blend of athleticism, fluidity and instincts as a high school underclassman. Physically developed, 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.“
