Tennessee Volunteers have ramped up their recruiting engine this season, zeroing in on elite prospects to fortify the roster for the upcoming cycles.
Braylon Clark, a five‑star wide receiver who earned a place among the top 12 at his position, has emerged as a cornerstone of the Volunteers’ 2028 recruitment plan.
DJ Jacobs, a defensive lineman currently committed to Ohio State, is being courted as a potential flip candidate after recent campus visits, making him a key target for the 2027 class.
The coaching staff is leveraging in‑season exposure to schedule campus visits and extend scholarship offers, aiming to lock down talent before the traditional recruiting windows close.
