Tennessee officially announced the addition of 18 newcomers on Monday, welcoming in the bulk of the class of 2022 signees. Four-star quarterback Tayven Jackson, four-star defensive tackle Tyre West and four-star offensive lineman Addison Nichols headline the additions, as each get set to take on spring practice with Josh Heupel’s staff.
The Volunteers also announced a few transfers that we knew about, along with a new name. Linebacker Jackson Hannah has joined the roster, coming over as a preferred walk-on from Nebraska. Tennessee has a numbers issue at the position, and adding another body will obviously help them get through the spring smoother while boosting depth for the fall.
