Coach Rekoske goes on to say, “We feel Scott is one of the best players from Tennessee we have recruited this year. We feel he can make an immediate impact next year.”

Coach Rekoske said, “The more I saw Chase the more I was impressed with him. He really came on at the end of the year after getting past some early injuries. He has a chance to help us next year.
