National Signing Day Update

National Signing Day has arrived, and Calhoun High School's Da'Rick Rogers got the day started by making Tennessee Vol fans very happy, but disappointing “Bulldog Nation.”

Rogers, who's one of the nation's top ten high school wide receiver prospects, verbally committed to Georgia last year, but after an official visit to Tennessee January 23rd and a meeting with Vols new head coach Derek Dooley, changed his mind and decided to sign with the Vols, making the announcement in a morning news conference at Calhoun High School.

Rogers’ best friend, Yellowjackets quarterback Nash Nance, who had verbally committed to Vanderbilt, also changed his mind and signed with Tennessee.

Two other Yellowjackets signed Division 1 Letters of Intent... Cody Ralston with Central Florida, Kedron Aker with Alabama-Birmingham.
