It goes without saying, but Neyland Stadium is expected to be PACKED for the upcoming game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Kentucky Wildcats. With the 'Dark Mode' uniform announcement, it only added to the excitement for Vols fans.

Well, leave it to some more big recruiting news to get you even more hyped up. Earlier in the week, fans learned that USC running back commit Daune Morris, an in-state prospect, will be on hand to watch the action. There's another big visitor making his way to town as well.

According to 247Sports' Andrew Hattersley, 5-star wide receiver Tristen Keys will also be in town. Keys is a 2026 prospect and while the focus for Josh Heupel and Co. is on closing out '25, the staff is putting in plenty of early work on high school juniors. Keys is among the top targets, as this will be his second trip to Knoxville.

5-star WR Tristen Keys will take a visit to Tennessee this weekend

What makes this visit even more intriguing is there's already a 247Sports Crystal Ball pick in for Keys to join Tennessee. When he took his first trip to campus, he reportedly had an unreal time, with the Tennessee coaches, coupled with the gameday atmosphere, making a big impact on him.

Keys is now excited to see what Tennessee can get done against Kentucky, a game they are favorites for. Throughout his recruitment, the 6-2, 175-pounder has picked up offers from Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, Alabama and several other schools.

In impressive fashion, Tennessee already holds four verbals for '26 in quarterback Faizon Brandon, offensive lineman Brandon Anderson, tight end Carson Sneed and defensive lineman Tyson Bacon. Brandon is a 5-star standout and he's been putting in work on Keys to try and help the Vols land him too. No decision is expected from the wideout in the near future, but he's surely going to be a player to keep a close eye on moving forward.
