The excitement for the start of the college football season is palpable. While the focus is on the present, coaches and programs can never truly take their eyes off the future. As a result, recruiting never stops.
How Tennessee will fare on the field in 2024 remains to be seen, but the Volunteers are building plenty of excitement for the future with big recruiting wins. First, they flipped ESPN 300 linebacker Jaedon Harmon from rival Alabama, and they followed that up by landing No. 1-rated offensive tackle David Sanders. Now sitting on the cusp of the top five in our 2025 class rankings, Tennessee is assembling one of the premier O-line classes for the cycle. The lengthy, agile and tenacious Sanders gives the Vols three ESPN 300 commits on the line with two ranked among the five-stars.
Michigan was able to hold off a late run by new Big Ten foe Washington and landed top-10 wide receiver Andrew Marsh, a smooth target with good hands who had more than 1,000 yards receiving as a junior.
Georgia Tech climbs for the second consecutive update, moving into the top 25. The Yellow Jackets added a third in-state ESPN 300 OL in Josh Petty, who is the highest-ranked commit for the program in the ESPN 300 era.
