Ole Miss Football Predicted to Beat Out Tennessee, Michigan for Coveted Safety

Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Oakland four-star safety Craig Tutt is winding down his recruitment process with a commitment date penciled in for next week.

Tutt, one of the top defensive backs in Tennessee, has received a myriad of offers during his time on the prep scene with the Ole Miss Rebels, Tennessee Volunteers, Michigan Wolverines and Colorado Buffaloes, among others, extending scholarships his way.

But the coveted safety has narrowed his focus to the Ole Miss Rebels and Tennessee Volunteers down the stretch.

The hometown Tennessee program has pushed all the right buttons following an official visit to Knoxville where the program sees his as a Swiss Army Knife in the secondary.

"What I learned is that I can fit anywhere. I fit in any defense so I feel I can play anywhere. Where I fit here is with the ability to show what I can do in all spots. I can play man, I can play zone, I can press, and I can play lockdown defense," Tutt told Tennessee Volunteers On SI.

"Just my ability to play any position, whether that's at safety or star. Just my ability to be a dude. I'm going to keep on doing that, keep on being competitive, and keep on at it."

But it's the Ole Miss Rebels picking up steam for the impressive Tennessee prospect down the stretch after the predictions came rolling in on Wednesday.
