The first Monday of the month means Rivals is refreshing its rankings for the 2026 class.
A group of Tennessee football commits and targets are moving up and down throughout the rankings as the off-season progresses and players show off at camps across the country.
Here's where everyone tied to the Vols currently sits.

Commits inside Rivals250
Faizon Brandon stays put in this edition of the ratings. He 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 stays put as the No. 28 player in the country and No. 2 player out of Tennessee. He is the top-ranked slot 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, after moving up last month, is taking a small tumble again. He 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 another 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.
Commits not in Rivals250
Targets
This is not a full list of targets for Tennessee. It is instead a list of recruits the Vols are currently tied to in some form that are ranked inside the latest Rivals250.
