Wolford, Gamecocks making a run at Tennessee OL commit

Tennessee offensive line commitment K'Rojhn Calbert of McMinnville, Tenn., said Thursday night he has been contacted by new South Carolina offensive line coach Eric Wolford and he is coming to see him Sunday.

Calbert took an unofficial visit and an official visit to USC in October and he liked what he saw, but he committed to the Vols in November.

"I'm not closing the door until Feb. 1," Calbert said. "I'm trying to make the best decision for me. He (Wolford) just said he watched all my film and really liked me and felt like they really needed me in Columbia."

Calbert said Tennessee wanted him to visit this weekend but he can't make it due to basketball, so he hopes to make it to Knoxville again in one of the last two weekends of the month.

At this point, Calbert said USC is the only other school he's considering as an alternative to Tennessee if he decides not to stick with his commitment.

"I'm solid to UT but I'm keeping an open mind," he said. Nobody else, just those two schools. I eliminated everybody else."

Some of Calbert's other offers included Florida, Kentucky, Louisville, Mississippi State, Missouri and Kentucky.
