The son of a former Tennessee star who recently received his first Division I scholarship offer is planning to visit the Vols again this weekend.

Three-star Class of 2020 quarterback Navy Shuler of Christ School in Arden, N.C., who’s the son of former Tennessee quarterback Heath Shuler, posted Thursday night on his Twitter account that he will return to Knoxville on Saturday to attend the Vols’ home game against top-ranked Alabama.

“Unofficial visit to Rocky Top this weekend #gbo,” the younger Shuler tweeted.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Shuler picked up his first offer from Tulane on Oct. 1. He also has attended games this season at Duke, Kentucky and South Carolina, most recently visiting the Gamecocks for their game Oct. 6 against Missouri.

Tennessee hosted him for one of its junior days earlier this year.

South Carolina, Clemson, Duke, Kentucky, N.C. State and others also have shown interest in Shuler, who has posted impressive numbers this season.

Through Christ School’s first eight games this year, he ranks among the nation’s leading passers, having thrown for 2,893 yards, 34 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

He has completed 70 percent of his passes, and he has thrown for more than 320 yards in six of his eight games. He has finished with 430 passing yards or more in three games this year, including a career-high 581 yards in a 66-38 win Oct. 5 against Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School of Rabun Gap, Ga.

Shuler also has rushed for 55 yards on just eight carries.

According to MaxPreps.com, Shuler’s passing total currently ranks No. 4 nationally and No. 1 in the state of North Carolina. Christ School competes in the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association’s Division II.

He’s ranked the No. 726 overall prospect and No. 36 pro-style quarterback in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2020 class. He has yet to be rated by 247Sports.

Shuler’s father was a Heisman Trophy runner-up at Tennessee in 1993 and was chosen by the Washington Redskins with the No. 3 overall pick in the 1994 NFL draft. He spent five years in the NFL, playing for the Redskins, New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders.

After his football career, the elder Shuler also served in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2007-13.

He’s now the running backs coach at Christ School, where his older brother, Benjie — a former Tennessee wide receiver — also is on the Greenies’ staff.

“I told the Tennessee coaches, don’t recruit him because he’s my son. Do it because he’s good,” Heath Shuler told the Asheville (N.C.) Citizen-Times last year, referring to former Vols coach Butch Jones’ staff. “He’s so young, he’s going to grow and get stronger. But it’s his mental aptitude that I think has excited college coaches.”

Navy Shuler told 247Sports’ Tony Morrell earlier this month, after his visit to South Carolina, that he knows what he’s hoping to find in a college.

“Most importantly, a place that will develop me as a man, a player and a student,” the younger Shuler said.
