Tennessee (Bristol, TN) offensive lineman Mack Crowder picked up three more scholarship offers in June, bringing the total number to 14. Despite the new offers to consider, the 6-4, 275-pound rising senior remains intent on committing before the start of his senior year.

“I don’t think getting more offers changes anything,” Crowder said. “I’m still planning on making my decision before my senior year starts. I don’t really have a specific date. I guess it’ll be before school starts because it will take a big pressure load off of me.”

The University of Tennessee offered Crowder at its camp in June. Kansas and South Carolina followed suit. Boston College, Central Florida, Duke, Georgia Tech, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Maryland, Middle Tennessee State, N.C. State, Vanderbilt and Virginia Tech have offered as well.

Asked what the offer from in-state power Tennessee means, Crowder said, “It doesn’t really mean a whole lot that they are the in-state school. I’m just going to treat them like every other school.”
