phughes+FollowVols QB Battle: Who Takes the Throne?The Vols’ QB room is about to get heated! With Nico off to UCLA, it’s wide open between Joey “the Transfer” Aguilar, Jake “Heupel’s Guy” Merklinger, and George “the Prodigy” MacIntyre. Most folks are betting on Aguilar’s experience, but don’t sleep on Merklinger’s playbook smarts or MacIntyre’s raw talent. This three-way rivalry could be the most intense Tennessee’s seen in years. Who do you think will come out on top? #Sports #Football #Vols00Share
Jay Williams+FollowVols vs. Longhorns: Recruiting Rankings DramaWow, what a rollercoaster for the Vols! After snagging four-star OT J.B.

That rivalry in the rankings is heating up! Still, with nine blue-chippers and Faizon Brandon leading the class, Tennessee’s future looks bright. Anyone else glued to these recruiting battles? #Sports #Football #Vols00Share

But with offers from Texas, Purdue, and Virginia, will he stick with the Barnes family or blaze his own trail? The early signing period could bring a big twist to this legacy saga. #Sports #Vols #BoOgden00Share

The Nashville native and former three-star WR barely got his cleats dirty for the Big Orange before hitting the transfer portal—twice!

BreezyBear+FollowHeupel's legacy rides on beating OUIf Heupel lets Oklahoma stroll into Neyland and steal a W, it’s a gut punch to every Vol fan who’s watched this program claw back from the Pruitt mess. Forget the Nico drama—this is about pride. You don’t let the Sooners waltz in and jump you in the SEC pecking order. Heupel’s done wonders, but if he can’t defend Rocky Top against his old squad, all that momentum goes up in smoke. No excuses—beat OU or the Vols risk losing their hard-earned swagger. #Sports #Football #Vols00Share

Let’s hear your thoughts, Vol Nation! #Sports #Vols #Recruiting00Share

The former three-star WR, who started with the Vols and made a quick stop at UNC-Charlotte, is on the move again. While Spillman didn’t log any stats in Knoxville, his ties to the program run deep—his younger brother Edwin is still on Rocky Top. Is this just the new normal in college football, or does it hint at something more behind the scenes? #Sports #Football #Vols00Share
glen25+FollowVols Surge Past Gators & Nittany Lions!Big Orange Nation, the Vols just leapfrogged Florida and Penn State in the 2026 recruiting race after landing two major gets: four-star LB Brayden Rouse and three-star CB Javonte Smith.

Is this the class that finally puts us over the Dawgs? #Sports #Football #Vols00Share
glen25+FollowVols Land In-State Star Javonte Smith!Big news for Vol Nation! Javonte Smith, the do-it-all athlete from Jackson, just committed to Rocky Top after an eye-opening official visit. Coach Heupel clearly sees Smith’s versatility as a game-changer, especially with the Vols building around five-star QB Faizon Brandon. Smith picked Tennessee over SEC rivals and says the atmosphere in Neyland sealed the deal. Looks like the 2026 class just got a major boost! Thoughts on how Smith fits into Heupel’s offense? #Sports #Football #Vols00Share
