KNOXVILLE— The Vols hosted more than two dozen of the nation’s best prospects over the weekend. Visitors included the top players in the state, Jalen Hurd, Josh Malone, and Todd Kelly Jr., plus the Berry twins. We have info on each of them on our “2014 Vol Targets” page. Below you’ll find info on two more visitors, linebacker Kevin Mouhon and athlete Blaise Taylor. We’ve included them on our targets page as well.

Kevin Mouhon

4-star 247Sports and Rivals
6-2, 220 pounds, Linebacker
Norcross, GA (Norcross)

Mouhon is rated as the No. 5 inside linebacker and No. 108 overall player in the 2014 class by 247Sports, and is a member of the Rivals Top 250. He was offered a scholarship by Tennessee in December, and visited campus last weekend (Feb. 16th) for junior day. Mouhon runs a 4.6 40-yard dash, and recorded 152 total tackles, five sacks, two interceptions, and one touchdown last year. The Vols are recruiting him to play middle linebacker, and UT will try to sign at least five linebackers in this class. In addition to Tennessee, Mouhon has notable offers from Auburn, Ohio State, Arkansas, and Mississippi State. It looks like the Tigers and Vols are the leaders for Mouhon at this point. You can view an example of Mouhon’s explosive abilities below and additional highlights here.

On defense, Taylor recorded 22 tackles , one interception, four passes defended, and one defensive touchdown. He has offers from Auburn, Tennessee, Nebraska, Memphis, and Arkansas State.
