All-American cornerback Marcelles Williams recaps Tennessee visit
Four-star cornerback Marcelles Williams unofficially visited Tennessee on April 13.
The 6-foot, 175-pound cornerback is from St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California.
Williams discussed visiting Tennessee and updated his recruitment with Vols Wire.
“I’m a priority recruit for them, and I can come and make a big impact early at cornerback,” Williams said about Tennessee. “Tennessee fans are crazy, and I know the environment is one of the best in the nation.”
Williams is the No. 70 overall prospect in the class of 2024. He ranks as the No. 8 cornerback and No. 8 player in California, according to the On3 industry rankings.
Secondary coach Willie Martinez has been an integral part of Tennessee’s recruiting process for Williams.
“I talk with coach Nez the most, he’s been recruiting me for a while,” Williams said. “I still talk to coach (Josh) Heupel and coach (Tim) Banks every once in a while.”

Williams earned first-team MaxPreps Junior All-American honors last season. He recorded 46 tackles, two interceptions and four pass breakups as a junior.
The 2024 prospect plans to take his time throughout the summer before making a commitment decision.
“Taking it slow, but I want to decide before the season,” Williams said about his recruiting timeline.
The Vols were one of Williams’ top 12 schools in March.
“They’re for sure up there with the other top schools on my list,” he said.
