The early signing period for the 2026 class is officially over, and one thing is for sure: Tennessee came out a winner. National championships aren't won on signing day, but they can be lost.
Josh Heupel and the Tennessee football staff did a tremendous job securing a plethora of plan-A targets. It's the best class that the Vols have signed with Heupel at the helm.
The 2026 class Tennessee signed features three 5-star recruits, headlined by the signal caller from North Carolina, Faizon Brandon, the No. 2 player in the nation according to 247Sports. Heupel also brought in 14 4-stars and 11 3-stars to the 2026 class.
