Son of Vols legend to visit Tennessee for UT's game against the Florida Gators

The son of a Tennessee Vols legend will reportedly be in Knoxville on Saturday night for UT's game against the Florida Gators.

According to GoVols247 , 2027 five-star safety Cooper Witten, the son of former Vols tight end Jason Witten, will be in Neyland for Tennessee's huge showdown against Florida.

Witten, 6-foot-2/210 lbs from Argyle, TX, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 1 safety in the nation and the No. 5 player in the state of Texas. He's also rated as the No. 25 overall player in the 2027 recruiting class.

Missouri, Oklahoma, TCU, and Texas A&M are among the programs that have also offered Witten.

Witten was actually in Norman a couple of weeks ago for Tennessee's win against Oklahoma, so this will be the second time in less than a month that he's seen the Vols in person.

There's obviously still a long way to go before Witten decides on where he'll play college football, but Tennessee should be right at the top of the list as he inches closer to a decision.
