Tennessee football will get the first spring visit from nation's No. 1 WR

Spring ball is almost here for the Tennessee football team and that means some superstar playmakers are going to be on campus soon for visits. The list includes the top wide receiver in the country.

That'd be 5-star playmaker Tristen Keys, who has been high on Tennessee for quite some time now. News recently broke that Keys, ranked the No. 1 wideout for the 2026 class, has locked in four spring visits. He'll be taking trips to Tennessee, LSU, Texas A&M and Michigan. In some positive news for head man Josh Heupel, he'll be getting the first chance to impress Keys:

5-star WR Tristen Keys has scheduled a March visit to Tennessee

We don't have to tell you that this is going to be a crucial visit for Keys. He's no stranger to Knoxville, as the elite talent has been over twice for other unofficials. This will mark his third trip to the area and an official visit down the road is expected to be on the way too.

Keys is quite familiar with Tennessee and fans are dreaming of him potentially suiting up for this team down the road. What helps Heupel and his recruiting efforts is that 5-star quarterback Faizon Brandon, the No. 1 QB for his class, is already Tennessee-bound.

Could you imagine Keys running routes and catching dimes from Brandon for the next 4-5 years? The Tennessee offense would be well on its way to becoming one of the most dynamic ones in the country. First, though, Keys needs to have a good time during this next visit to meet with the Vols.

LSU, Michigan and Texas A&M will be ready to roll out the red carpet as well, but Heupel has a chance to set the bar quite high with him getting the first March visit. Keys is the textbook definition of sensational recruit. Tennessee is battling several other schools for his services, but Heupel will do whatever he can to earn Key's signature once next December rolls around.
