Three-star offensive lineman Jax Tanner has set up four official visits this summer including a trip to see Tennessee according to 247sports’ Brandon Huffman.
Tanner will officially visit Tennessee June 13 following visits to Oregon and Michigan and before his official visit to BYU on June 19.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound offensive lineman ranks as a three-star recruit and the No. 501 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. Tanner also ranks as the No. 47 interior offensive lineman in the 2026 recruiting cycle and as the No. 2 player in the state of Idaho.
Tanner is still relatively green in his recruitment and has yet to take any visits according to 247sports. That isn’t completely surprising, however, since Tanner is a Meridian, Idaho native and is not near much big time college football.
