Following an official visit to Knoxville, Tenn., three-star athlete Lemond Johnson (Cooper City, Fla.) decommitted from Auburn in favor of the Volunteers, according to multiple sources.
Both programs have recently had coaching changes. Tennessee added former Auburn assistant Tommy Thigpen, who recruited Johnson for the Tigers, to its new staff. Additionally, Johnson would like to enroll early and appears to have that opportunity with the Vols, according to AL.com.
Johnson, a 6-foot, 190-pound senior, originally picked the Tigers in June and officially visited the program Oct. 26, before Gene Chizik's dismissal.
