As the Early Signing Period for college football kicks off, Tennessee football is in a strong position, ranked No. 10 nationally and No. 7 in the SEC for the 2025 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. With 24 commitments already locked in, the Vols are poised to secure a standout class, highlighted by several highly-rated prospects.
The Vols have been busy building momentum, with multiple players already committed to joining the program in time to contribute during the College Football Playoff. Tennessee’s recruiting efforts have resulted in a balanced class, with top-tier prospects across multiple positions, including defensive line, linebacker, and wide receiver.
Despite the solid foundation, Tennessee is still watching closely as a few key targets are expected to announce their decisions in the coming days. The Vols may also continue to pursue additional recruits who are waiting until National Signing Day in February to make their final commitments. However, some of Tennessee’s current commitments remain at risk of flipping to other schools, adding an element of uncertainty to the final days of the signing period.
Coach Josh Heupel is expected to address the class during a press conference later today, where he will likely reflect on the Vols’ efforts in securing top talent and their future prospects. With a mix of in-state standouts and out-of-state gems, Tennessee is positioning itself for another strong recruiting cycle as they look to bolster their roster for the 2025 season and beyond.
