Tennessee’s 2026 recruiting class picked up a big piece on Monday, and they landed him right from underneath the noses of one of their biggest rivals.
Per On3 Sports, Josh Heupel obtained the commitment of 4-star athlete Joel Wyatt.
Wyatt is ranked as the #58 overall player, #4 athlete, and #2 player in the state of Tennessee by Rivals/On3. He committed to the Vols over Vanderbilt, who had been the prime opposition for the Vols for his services. LSU, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and others had also been in the mix for Wyatt.
Wyatt was the highest remaining uncommitted player in the state of Tennessee as the #2 overall player.
