Finley, McGill-Toolen noseguard Darius Cox, Vigor defensive end Desmond Little, receivers Keyshawn Woodyard and Edwin White from UMS-Wright, Kris Abrams-Draine from Spanish Fort and Eric Poellnitz from Mobile Christian, and Daphne cornerback Christian Williams. He even offered a freshman, Mobile Christian linebacker Deontae Lawson.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s no way to know if even one of these talented young player with end up in Knoxville. But what is clear is that Pruitt is taking a page from the book of Nick Saban, who made a similar commitment to the Mobile area when he arrived in Tuscaloosa.
