Five-star pass catcher Tristen Keys, ESPN's No. 2 wide receiver in the 2026 class, flipped his commitment from LSU to Tennessee Thursday afternoon, a source told ESPN.

Keys is the No. 10 overall prospect in the 2026 ESPN 300. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is now the second-ranked member of the Vols' 2026 class, trailing only five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon, ESPN's No. 8 overall recruit this cycle.

Keys had been verbally committed to the Tigers since March 19. However, he maintained an open recruitment through the summer, flirting with multiple programs across official visits to Auburn, Miami, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
