Wide receiver commit Joakim Dodson talks Tennessee visit
It was a huge recruiting weekend for Josh Heupel and his Tennessee program, but one official visitor who didn’t need the ‘hard sell’ from the staff was wide receiver commitment Joakim Dodson.
Dodson (6-foot-0, 185 pounds), from Memphis, committed to the Vols in February and hasn’t looked back since.
This weekend’s trip to his future home just reaffirmed his decision.
“I really enjoyed it a lot. I got to hang out with a lot of the guys, got to have several meetings with the coaches. They talked to me about what my dreams are going to look like here, how I will fit into the system,” Dodson said of his trip.
“It was good to have that kind of meeting. We had a lot of fun and talked about ball, but it was real detail oriented and I loved it.”
Dodson is an elite wide receiver prospect, but he’s not afraid of competition. In fact, just the opposite, he’s doing his best to bring in some elite talent at his position. He worked hard on fellow wide receiver and official visitor Travis Smith this weekend.
“I worked on Travis a lot. We hung out after dinner last night. We got to talk and had some fun. We got to know each other, that was our first time really meeting.
“July 13th, I think that’s his commitment date, I’m going to text him every day.”
Dodson gave Tennessee an early commitment, and while he still has a year of high school left, he’s already building a strong relationship with his future position coach, Kelsey Pope.
“He’s my guy,” Dodson said of Pope. “I know he’s going to push me on the field, off the field, every day. We have that type of relationship right now.
“I know that he’s going to push me to be the best person I can be. Our relationship keeps growing, he calls me like every day. We talk about life more than football.”
