Tennesse narrowly defeated Georgia Tech in an intense recruiting battle for Stephenson linebacker Nigel Mitchell-Thornton. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder said he was influenced after a "4-0" vote in favor of Tennessee during a recent meeting with his parents and Stephenson coach Ron Gartrell. All four wrote down a list of five schools which would be the best for Mitchell-Thornton.
