The Tennessee Volunteers football team landed their biggest prospect of the 2010 recruiting cycle when star WR Markeith Ambles announced that he had committed to Lane Kiffin and the Tennessee coaching staff Tuesday morning.

Ambles is one of the top wide receiver prospects in the nation, rating as a four star prospect on the Rivals recruiting service and ranking as the seventh best wide receiver nationally.

After attending the Friday Night Lights camp hosted by the Florida Gators over the weekend, Ambles stock soared. He was named the Offensive MVP of the camp, but did not receive an offer from the hometown Gators.

Instead, Ambles elected to commit to Florida's rival, the Tennessee Volunteers on Tuesday morning. Head coach Lane Kiffin was reportedly ecstatic on learning of Ambles decision.

Ambles is a versatile wide receiver and has good size at 6-foot-2, 182-pounds. He runs the 40 yard dash in 4.5 seconds and has the ability to get downfield or catch passes over the middle.

He should be a tremendous addition to Kiffin's first full recruiting class at Tennessee. With his commitment, Markeith Ambles becomes the 13th member of the 2010 recruiting class for the Volunteers. He is the top rated prospect currently committed to Tennessee and the third prospect with a four star ranking according to Rivals.
