Tennessee climbs more than 30 spots in recruiting rankings after adding 4 commits

The Tennessee Vols have been red hot on the recruiting trail and you've got to give a ton of credit to head man Josh Heupel. He's been able to land some big-name recruits in recent days, highlighted of course by 4-star athlete Legend Bey.

Bey wasn't the only addition to the 2026 commits list, however, as offensive lineman Edward Baker, athlete Zaydyn Anderson and EDGE Kedric Golston II have also announced for the Vols. With those four new pledges, Heupel is up to 13 commits for the class.

That's not the only good news that has come in. Before this latest hot streak arrived, Tennessee had the No. 55 ranked class in the country according to 247Sports. That's no longer the case, however, as the Vols are now up to No. 22 in the land. A jump of 33 spots? You better believe it.

Tennessee currently holds the No. 22 class in the country after a recruiting hot streak

Plenty of people were bashing Heupel and the Vols, but they don't have much to say now. Come Tuesday too, even more positive news is going to be on the way. If you've been reading our recent recruiting articles, you know a pair of decisions are coming on Tuesday.

Both 4-star linebacker TJ White and 4-star defensive lineman Dereon Albert are going to make their announcements - both are expected to give the Vols their verbals. White has picked up 30 offers throughout his recruitment, including Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida State, Auburn, Mississippi State and many others.

Albert holds 32 offers to his name, but he's down to Tennessee and North Carolina. Huepel vs. Bill Belichick for a talented d-lineman? This is a fun battle, but the Vols indeed are overwhelming favorites to come out on top. Tennessee's 2026 class is No. 22 in the country for now, but look for them to climb up even more come Tuesday with White and Albert (likely) on the way.
