With the main events of the 2022 recruiting cycle wrapped up, Tennessee football will finish with the 16th ranked class nationally and 7th ranked class in the SEC. While it’s not amazing, it is very much an overperformance in many ways. If someone approached you in March 2021 and told you that Tennessee would have a near top-15 recruiting class, you would’ve taken them up on the offer immediately. The Volunteers did a very nice job of addressing their needs and grabbing a strong group of players that fit their systems. The traditional National Signing Day on Wednesday was fairly quiet—but that’s largely because Tennessee had done all their legwork in December.
