The Tennessee Volunteers have been on a bit of a tear on the recruitment trail as of late. The Vols have landed 4-star wide receiver Travis Smith Jr and 4-star linebacker Christian Gass in just the last few weeks on the trail. The Vols have yet another target, 4-star safety LaGonza Hayward is set to make his college announcement Saturday, July 27th as well.

The Vols appear to be the leader at the moment for Hayward as well alongside South Carolina and Georgia. Though as Volunteer fans wait to see the announcement from Hayward, several current commits have alluded to a "surprise commitment" prior to the 27th potentially from Hayward.

Surprise commit coming soon 👀
