4-star RB C.J. Cotman commits to Tennessee

Tennessee boosted its 11th-ranked 2017 recruiting class Wednesday when four-star running back C.J. Cotman announced his commitment to the Volunteers.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound back made the announcement via his personal Twitter page.

Before committing to Tennessee, Cotman also had offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. He is currently ranked 241st on the ESPN 300.

Cotman still gives hope to those schools that made him offers, as the back added that he is keeping one foot out the door by keeping his recruitment process open to all schools.
