The Tennessee Volunteers have established an impressive recruiting standard under head coach Josh Heupel.
They’ve never signed a class ranked outside the top 15 under Heupel, even in the 2022 cycle when he only had eleven months to develop relationships with prospective signees.
They have the No. 15 class in the 2025 cycle, and they’re looking to improve it over the next few weeks.
Westlake High School wide receiver Travis Smith logged 37 receptions for 608 yards and eight touchdowns during his junior season.
His 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame, impressive body control, and ball skills have attracted major SEC programs within the southern footprint.
He’s set to decide between Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, and Tennessee.
The Volunteers seem to have momentum after the summer slate of official visits.
Smith ranks as the No. 78 prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
Eastside High School linebacker Christian Gass has been a riser on the national recruiting scene these past few months.
He’ll decide between Georgia, Tennessee, and USC later this month: the 6-foot-2.5, 220-pounder logged 68 tackles, 11 for loss, and two sacks during his junior season.
This battle feels like it will come down to Georgia vs. Tennessee, though we’ll see how things play out over the next few weeks.
He ranks as the No. 225 prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
