VolQuest ($) reports that Mascoutah, Il.’s Matt Milton has committed to Tennessee.
Milton — a 6-6 prospect who runs a 4.5 40 — becomes the second 4-star wide receiver to commit to UT this week. The Vols’ stock for the 2010 recruiting class is certainly on the rise.
Tennessee’s offensive line remains very questionable, but with the runningbacks and receivers that Kiffin is bringing into the fold, perhaps a certain quarterback currently committed to West Virginia can be persuaded to change his mind?
Tennessee was the highest-profile school to offer Milton so far, and the only SEC school. Other offers included Iowa, Stanford and Washington. Rivals.Com ranks him #46 at his position.

Another bigtime get for the Lane Train. I’m most impressed with this staff’s recruiting so far. Maybe with a big time add or two on the O-Line, and the nation’s # 1 ranked wide receiver potentially close to committing, Kyle Prater, a high profile QB will potentially change his mind and be persuaded to head to Knoxville in 2010. With all of those big targets to throw to and Bryce Brown to hand the ball to might be hard for a highly rated signal caller to pass on. For all we know our QB of the future may already be on campus in Nick Lamaison. Early reports indicate he may be much better than advertised, and possibly more skilled than any available QB in the class of 2010.
