Christian Charles
(DB) Gainesville, GA (Chestatee HS)

Commit: 10/16/20
3-star on 247 Composite/Rivals/ESPN

Josh Ward’s Analysis: Charles is a versatile athlete who has played quarterback and run track in high school. He’ll add needed speed to Tennessee’s cornerback position.

Eric Cain’s Analysis: Charles is an athlete that garnered offers all over the place. He plays quarterback in high school but will fit into the defensive backield (probably at safety or STAR) at Tennessee as Jeremy Pruitt loves defensive backs to be ball-handlers in high school. He’s long, athletic, has good speed and room to add weight.
