The Tennessee Volunteers had a productive month on the recruiting trail. Here's a review of what happened and a preview of what's next.
The Tennessee Volunteers have had quite the resurgence under head coach Josh Heupel. Now, as he enters his fourth season, due to the way Heupel and his staff have recruited and developed, the turnaround can be attributed to more than just offensive identity. This roster has simply gotten better from top to bottom under Heupel.
It's due in large part to the way Heupel and his staff have attacked the recruiting trail — even despite the sanctions left behind from the previous regime. Heupel was officially hired by the Vols in January of 2021. Making the 2022 class his first, and you can see the impact of those signings still today. Three years later, this roster has the Heupel identity. June was a massive month for the identity of the 2025 recruiting class.
On the defensive side of the ball there are several names at the top of the rankings that Tennessee is in the running for. Five-star EDGE Jared Smith was on campus for an official visit during the second weekend in June before finishing his summer OV schedule at Florida State and USC. LaGonza Hayward is a safety out of Toombs County, Georgia and for the longest time, it appeared the Vols were in really good positioning for the four-star.
Early National Signing day for the 2025 recruiting class is December 4th. As of today, June 28th, 60% of the top-100 on the consensus 247sports rankings have already made their commitment announcements. It appears today's world of recruiting gets going faster than any year prior.You can follow us for future coverage by clicking "Follow" on the top right-hand corner of the page.
