Clearly there are plenty of prospects at receiver Tennessee football could add, including elite athletes, in-state players who are eyeing the Vols and guys Josh Heupel has a connection with himself. Adarius Redmond is actually expected to land with Rocky Top, and Devin Hyatt has a connection to the Vols as well.

Multiple other elite four-stars are on the list for UT, and among them, some are bound to commit. With seven athletes targeted, Heupel is still looking for guys in this space that could fill other voids if necessary, so watch for how that plays out in the future.

At least nine players on here are more slot receivers, and at least seven are pure wideouts. The rest could potentially fill a void as needed, as they are in the 6’0″ to 6’2″ range. Heupel has gotten a good bit of versatility on that front, but again, he could use more.
