Trautwein Talks About Third Visit

Eastern Regional (Voorhees, NJ) offensive tackle Phil Trautwein did make his official visit to the University of Tennessee last weekend. The night before, he helped Eastern defeat Cherokee 50-43 in double overtime to earn a spot in the South, Group 4 State Championship game.

Despite not receiving too much sleep the night before, Trautwein managed to have an excellent time on his official visit.

“It was still nice,” Trautwein said of his visit. “I’d probably rate it a 10. I saw the Vol Walk, and that was amazing. I found out that life is all about football in Knoxville. It was a great atmosphere. There were 101,000 fans there, which was the smallest crowd since 1995.”

Trautwein was hosted by sophomore offensive tackle Richie Gandy. Tennessee, along with every other school, is recruiting Trautwein to play offensive tackle in college.
