Josh Heupel and the Tennessee Volunteersgot some encouraging news on the 2025 recruiting front on Friday regarding a couple of their top targets.
The Vols are now finalists for both David Sanders, Jr. AND Jaime Ffrench.
The news isn’t that big of a deal for the former, as the Vols already were. However, On3 Sports’ Steve Wiltfong issued a projection for the Vols to land the five-star tackle Sanders when he announced his college destination on August 17.
Predictions don’t always end up being on point, so these should always be taken with a grain of salt. However, the Vols did get Sanders, Jr. on campus at the end of July for a visit, with fellow 2025 recruits George MacIntyre, Ethan Utley, and DaSaahn Brame also with him. MacIntyre’s been working the recruiting trail for Heupel so much, he should be on staff.
On the other side, Ffrench listing the Vols as a finalist IS a big deal and newsworthy. On3 Sports’ Hayes Fawcett announced the finalists, and Ffrench quote tweeted the announcement with an emoji, seemingly confirming it.
