Later this month, he'll visit Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Notre Dame and possibly Purdue. Of those schools, only Purdue has officially offered Heuerman a scholarship.
"I've got nine offers. Tennessee is my biggest one," said Heuerman, who also has offers from Michigan State, Rutgers, South Florida, Maryland, Memphis, Florida Atlantic and Florida International.
The early offer during a standout visit to UT's junior day last month has put the Vols in prime position.
"Tennessee, they're in the lead," Heuerman said. "They're out and away in the lead so far."
Of course, that could change if other schools start offering.
Heuerman said Georgia, South Carolina and Notre Dame have been recruiting him heavily.
Florida has recently shown interest.
Those schools won't have much time to decide on Heuerman, who plans to announce his decision in June.
"I'm kind of narrowing it down now," he said.
Heuerman will also visit UT again for its Orange and White Game on April 17. Heuerman said the distance between his home in South Florida and Knoxville won't be a factor in his decision thanks to a discount airline that offers inexpensive, direct flights between nearby Punta Gorda to Knoxville.
