A highly regarded defensive-back prospect from Georgia has confirmed plans to return to Knoxville for a game visit with Tennessee, further fueling the Vols’ recruiting momentum.
This upcoming visit is viewed as a critical step in the Vols’ pursuit. Tennessee has been aggressive in securing top-tier talent in the secondary, an area the program is looking to strengthen for the future. The Georgia native’s athleticism, size, and versatility make him a priority target, as he has the ability to play multiple roles in the defensive backfield.
Sources around the program suggest that Tennessee’s coaching staff has made a strong impression by emphasizing both development and opportunity. The Vols’ ability to showcase a fast, aggressive defensive system under defensive coordinator Tim Banks has also caught the attention of the prospect, who values schemes that allow playmakers in the secondary to shine.
Returning for a game day in Knoxville will give him the chance to experience Neyland Stadium’s electric atmosphere — something recruits often cite as a deciding factor in their decisions. The Vols are hopeful that a strong showing on the field, combined with the passion of the fanbase, will solidify Tennessee’s place near the top of his list.
For Tennessee, landing a defensive-back of his caliber would not only bolster the 2025 recruiting class but also send a message that the program is competing at the highest level for elite defensive talent. With the visit on the horizon, all eyes now turn to how the Vols’ performance and environment can shape the next chapter of this high-stakes recruitment.
