4-star Vols LB target reveals time for commitment announcement

Nashville (Tenn.) Lipscomb Academy 2024 four-star linebacker Edwin Spillman announced last week he would announce a commitment decision on Friday.

Now, the standout prospect from the mid-state has announced what time he will reveal his decision between Ohio State and Tennessee.

I will be announcing my decision tomorrow at 1:30 CT🇸🇱🙏🏾#forthefambul

Spillman’s brother, Nate, is in Knoxville already, but that has not kept Ohio State from actively pursuing the four-star talent and making his recruitment intriguing.

“My relationship with the coaches at each school is what it comes down to,” Spillman told On3. “I’ve known the coaches since I was a freshman. Both Ohio State and Tennessee have loved me and wanted to get me as both a player and a young man. “I’ve been drawn to those two since the beginning and why I want to put my focus into them.”

Spillman is currently rated as the nation’s No.300 overall prospect and No.27 overall linebacker, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
