Tennessee football added another four-star recruit to its 2026 class on Wednesday afternoon in EDGE Zach Groves.

With eight commits in the boat, the Vols now own the No. 18 class in the cycle.

Here's a look at who is committed so far.

Faizon Brandon is the No. 2 overall player in the class and No. 1 quarterback in the cycle.

Brandon has been inside the top five of the class since November. He is the crown jewel of Tennessee's 2026 class as the highest-rated commit of the cycle.

Adam Gorney said this on Brandon a month ago:

"Tennessee quarterback commit Faizon Brandon is the No. 1 quarterback in the 2026 Rivals250 right now and after seeing him multiple times this offseason it seems very unlikely unless something shocking happens that he would move off the five-star list."

Tyreek King sits just a tad outside being considered a five-star prospect.

Right now, King is the No. 28 player in the country and No. 2 player out of Tennessee. He is the top-ranked slot receiver in the class, as well.

Adam Gorney thinks King could end up as a coveted five-star when things are all said and done, though, saying this last month:

"The Tennessee commit is so, so fast. He’s electric off the line of scrimmage, he’s dynamic through his route, he knows how to set up defenders and then he can burn anybody deep.

"King also has great hands, he plays with toughness and after having more than 1,000 receiving yards in his junior season, he’s gone to numerous events this offseason and has looked fantastic.

"What more could we want to see?"

Carson Sneed was formerly considered the No. 50 player in the class last March before beginning to fall. After moving up to No. 108 in the class, Sneed dropped three spots to No. 111. He remains the No. 4 player out of Tennessee and No. 6 tight end in the cycle.

Sneed is a candidate to possibly flip away from the Vols, though, according to Sam Spiegelman last month:

"Sneed was another early piece of the 2026 puzzle for Tennessee. Sneed's brother plays for the Vols and he has been to Rocky Top on several occasions. Coming off a round of visits to Colorado, Miami, North Carolina, Ole Miss and UCLA, there is a growing sense that Sneed may wind up signing somewhere out of state.

"The summer should be very telling in this recruitment."

Sneed's brother, Dayton Sneed, entered the spring transfer portal after Spiegelman's projection. The older Sneed, who plays slot receiver, committed to Bill Belichick's North Carolina.

Gabriel Osenda is a four-star who sits just outside Rivals250 status. After winning MVP at a Rivals camp in Atlanta, he could see the push to being considered a top 250 player.

Currently, out of Chattanooga, he is the No. 10 player in the state and No. 37 offensive tackle in the cycle.

He recently told Rivals that he will not be taking any visits except to Tennessee.

"It feels good, you know, like they're still showing love," Osenda recently told VolReport. "They're still recruiting me like I'm not committed. They treat you like family up there. (Glen Elarbee) talked to me about my game, how I practiced and just helping me become a good offensive lineman at the high school level and one day contribute on the college football level."

Zach Groves is checking in as the latest addition to Tennessee's 2026 class. He is a four-star sitting outside the Rivals250.

Out of Cross Plains at East Robertson High School, he is the No. 9 player in the state and No. 22 edge rusher in the country.

"This decision wasn't easy," Groves wrote in his announcement posted on Twitter/X. "It took a lot of thought, prayer, and guidance. But I'm confident in the path I'm choosing and excited for what's ahead."

Braylon Outlaw joins as a three-star recruit out of Alabama. At Pike Road, he stands at 6-foot, 203 pounds.

The linebacker is the No. 37 recruit in the country at his position and No. 24 player out of the Yellow Hammer State.

CJ Edwards joins Groves as the other edge rusher in the class. He stands at 6-foot-5, 210 pounds out of Metuchen, New Jersey.

He is the No. 9 player in the state and No. 40 edge rusher in the class.

The receiver in the class joining King is Tyran Evans. He is an outside receiver from North Carolina.

He stands at 6-foot-3, 185 pounds and has been committed since early January.

His commitment helps continue the string of successful recruiting out of North Carolina for the Vols. Brandon, five-star freshman offensive lineman David Sanders Jr. and four-star freshman defensive lineman Isaiah Campbell are both from North Carolina, as well.
