CJ Edwards, a 2026 EDGE, has committed to the Tennessee Volunteers.

The Tennessee Volunteers are starting to heat up in the 2026 recruiting cycle and they just added another big name to their class. CJ Edwards a 2026 EDGE rusher, has announced his commitment to the Volunteers.

Edwards does not yet have a rating according to his 247 sports profile. He comes from Saint Joseph High School out of New Jersey. The Volunteers were the first school to ever offer Edwards and it looks like that early relationship and interest has paid off for the Volunteers.

The Volunteers now have eight total commits in the class. The headliner of the group is five-star quarterback prospect Faizon Brandon. It's still early in the process, but Heupel and his staff are already rolling.

Tennessee Volunteers 2026 Recruiting Class:

  • Faizon Brandon, QB
  • Tyreek King, WR
  • Carson Sneed, TE
  • Gabriel Osenda, OL
  • Tyran Evans, WR
  • Tyson Bacon, DL
  • Braylon Outlaw, LB
  • CJ Edwards, EDGE
