Can Faizon Brandon Flip Tristen Keys?

Vols fans, this is heating up! Tennessee’s top gun, Faizon Brandon, is going all-in to flip five-star WR Tristen Keys from LSU. Keys, the Magnolia State’s pride and No. 1 wideout for 2026, has been a Tiger commit—but after multiple Knoxville visits and Brandon’s recruiting push, the Vols are making serious noise. Is this the next big SEC rivalry move? Keys says development matters most, not just NIL cash. Could the dynamic duo of Brandon-to-Keys become reality? #Sports #Football #Vols

Vols QB Showdown: Who Takes the Reins?

Vol Nation, we’ve got a real QB battle on Rocky Top! With Nico “The Prodigy” Iamaleava heading to UCLA, Coach Heupel’s got a three-way competition brewing: Joey Aguilar (the App State transfer via LA), local talent Jake Merklinger, and blue-chip recruit George MacIntyre. Heupel says it’s truly open—no favorites. Whoever wins gets thrown straight into the fire against the Dawgs in the SEC opener. Who do you think steps up and leads the Vols’ offense this fall? #Sports #Football #Vols

Vols Drama: Pruitt vs NCAA Heats Up

Big Orange Nation, the Jeremy Pruitt saga just got spicier! The NCAA wants Pruitt’s $100M lawsuit tossed, arguing Alabama courts don’t have jurisdiction. Pruitt claims he was made the scapegoat for Level I violations and is pulling in former AD Fulmer for testimony. The real question: Did the NCAA and Tennessee team up to make Pruitt the fall guy, or is this just classic Rocky Top drama? Sound off, Vols fans! #Sports #Vols #NCAA

Vols’ Toughest 2025-26 Non-Conf Showdowns?

Vol Nation, which non-conference game has you most hyped this season? For me, it’s all about the revenge shot at Houston in Vegas—after last year’s heartbreak, Rick Barnes and the boys will be fired up. Don’t sleep on Illinois in Nashville either; the Illini always bring the heat. And with Rob Lanier’s Rice squad visiting, there’s some real coaching chess on deck. Which matchup do you think is the biggest test for the Big Orange? #Sports #Vols #TennesseeBasketball

Big Orange’s Estrella Nears Comeback!

Vol Nation, looks like our 6’11” big man J.P. Estrella is almost back in action! After last year’s brutal foot surgery, Estrella’s been grinding through a tough rehab. Coach Medenwald says it’s been anything but a straight line, but J.P.’s mentality is next-level. Seeing him back in five-on-five scrimmages is huge for the Vols. Can Estrella’s return spark a new chapter for the Big Orange frontcourt? Let’s talk expectations! #Sports #Basketball #Vols

Vols’ Youth Movement: No Time to Wait

Big Orange Nation, are we witnessing a new era? Coach Heupel’s “no time to be young” mantra is real—this year’s Vols are rolling with more freshmen than seniors, and the staff is trusting blue-chip recruits like David Sanders Jr. to step up now. With SEC rivals loading up on transfers, Tennessee’s betting on homegrown talent. Will this youth-first gamble pay off, or will experience win out in the SEC grind? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Football #Vols
