The Tennessee Volunteers, led by head coach Josh Heupel entering his fourth season, have secured his tenure until 2029 after a contract extension last year. He propelled the team to an impressive 8-4 regular season in 2023, culminating in a commanding 35-0 victory over Iowa in the Citrus Bowl, landing them at No. 21 in the final College Football Playoff rankings. Under Heupel’s guidance, Tennessee’s football program has gained significant traction in recruiting since the season’s end, with a focus on several highly sought-after prospects in the 2025 class, some of whom were present at Nike’s “The Next One’s” event in Las Vegas earlier this month.
In the 2024 recruiting cycle, Tennessee secured the No. 13 recruiting class according to 247Sports rankings. They’ve started strong for the 2025 cycle, currently ranked at No. 10 overall, boasting commitments from one 5-star and one 4-star recruit among their six commits.
