Tennessee Football recruiting tracker: Every commit, notable offers & visit (2026)

Tennessee made its inaugural College Football Playoff appearance last season, and that has set the level at which the program hopes to operate. Josh Heupel is determined to make the program a top contender and he continues to work toward that.

The Volunteers have done well in recruiting in the last two years. They’ve been able to lure some blue-chip talent to the program, playing a role in their success under Heupel. They’ve also started the class of 2026 recruiting on a brilliant note with seven commits.
