Tennessee football has been on a red-hot recruiting streak here lately.

Many 2026 prospects have been taking a hard look at Knoxville. Seeing the Vols defeat Florida and Alabama in back-to-back weeks moved the needle for a few. Before we get to the 2026 class, a late but very talented piece just joined the 2025 class.

2025 four-star Southern Durham (N.C.) defensive tackle Isaiah Campbell has committed to spend his next few years at Tennessee.

The 6-foot-5, 265-pound defensive tackle has had a unique trip to current day. In July of 2023, Campbell released a Top 10 that did not include the Vols, before ultimately committing to Clemson in late-January 2024.

Tennessee continued to recruit the Tar Heel State product, so when Campbell recently decommitted from the Tigers, all eyes were on the Vols and North Carolina.

If this were to be the last piece of the 2025 class, Josh Heupel and his staff have finished out on a very high note, as the Rivals150 athlete is also the No. 5 defensive tackle in the class, along with being No. 103 overall.

Seeing the massive steps forward by the Vol front seven is perfectly clear. What Rodney Garner and Tim Banks have been able to accomplish is remarkable. They have a recipe for success.

Campbell will add quality depth to a defensive line that is a losing a solid amount when all of this is over. If the Vols can maintain a true two to three deep rotation, Tennessee could be very good for a while.

Campbell should be the second highest rated commit in the class, so Vol Nation may notice a bump in the recruiting rankings.
