Four-star wide receiver Demare Dezeurn, from Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California, belongs to the 2027 class but has already gained attention from college programs. His talent both as a wide receiver and a safety has led to scholarship offers from several schools, including Syracuse, San Diego State, Colorado State, Nebraska, Ole Miss and Washington.
The latest school to join the race is Tennessee. On Wednesday, the Vols offensive coordinator Joey Halzle extended an offer to the prospect, marking his eighth Division I scholarship offer.
"WOW!! ALL GLORY TO GOD After another great conversation with coach hazle I have received my 8th division one offer from the university of tennessee #govols @CoachHalzle @coachjoshheupel @CoachKelseyPope @recruitcoachmc @GregBiggins @ChadSimmons_ @adamgorney @AlemanyFootbal."
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound prospect has a connection between his high school and Tennessee. Former Tennessee quarterback Casey Clausen serves as the head coach at Bishop Alemany, with his brother, Rick Clausen, also a former Vols signal-caller, working as an assistant coach. Josh Heupel's program has no players committed to the 2027 class.
According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Demare Dezeurn is ranked No. 60 nationally, No. 9 wide receiver, and No. 10 player in California for the class of 2027.
Demare Dezeurn's athletic profile
Demare Dezeurn's Bishop Alemany High School boasts an undefeated record of 1-0 and a state ranking of 171st this season. He has recorded 52 yards with an average of 26.0 yards per play, including two touchdowns this season.
Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times lauded Dezeurn's dominant performance at the Simi Valley Passing Tournament, where he repeatedly found the end zone. Greg Biggins of 247Sports scouted that Dezeurn has the potential to be a "real game breaker."
Dezeurn's remarkable speed has also earned him recognition in track and field. He narrowly edged out Jordan Coleman by .001 seconds to win the 60-meter championship at the CA Winter Championships on June 15.
In May, the prospect won the CIF Southern Section Masters 100-meter title in 10.36 seconds, the second-fastest all-conditions mark for a freshman in California. This time also matched the Bishop Alemany school record, which had stood since 1998.
