Tennessee Football News: Vols in the Mix for Rumored Top Star Quarterback Target
The Tennessee Volunteers are making waves in the college football recruiting world as rumors swirl about their pursuit of a high-profile quarterback target. With Nico Iamaleava entrenched as the starter for 2024, head coach Josh Heupel and his staff are already looking ahead, aiming to secure another elite signal-caller for the future.
### **The Rumored Target**
While Tennessee has not publicly confirmed any specific recruit, speculation points to several top-tier prospects, including:
– **5-Star QB Bryce Underwood (2025)** – The No. 1 overall recruit in the 2025 class, Underwood has been heavily linked to LSU but recently included Tennessee in his top schools. The Vols’ high-powered offense could be a major selling point.
– **4-Star QB Antwann Hill (2025)** – A strong-armed passer from Georgia, Hill has visited Knoxville multiple times and has the Vols among his finalists.
– **Potential Transfer Portal Star** – If Tennessee looks for immediate depth, a veteran QB from the portal could be an option to pair with Iamaleava.
### **Why Tennessee is an Attractive Destination**
Under Josh Heupel, Tennessee has developed a reputation for explosive offensive play and quarterback development. Hendon Hooker’s rise to stardom and Joe Milton’s NFL draft selection have bolstered the program’s appeal. Additionally, NIL opportunities through *The Volunteer Club* and *Spyre Sports Group* make UT a strong contender for elite talent.
What’s Next?
With the summer visit season heating up, expect Tennessee to host several top QB prospects. If the Vols can land a commitment from a star like Underwood or Hill, it would solidify their future at the position and keep them in national championship contention for years to come.
