Four-star wing class of 2026 Gage Mayfield is officially visiting Tennessee basketball from June 23-25, 24/7 High School Hoops Sam Kayser first reported Monday evening and a source confirmed to RTI.
Mayfield is a talented 6-foot-7 wing who ranks as a four-star recruit and the No. 110 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. A Moundville, Alabama native, Mayfield ranks as the top prospect in the state of Alabama in the 2026 recruiting cycle.
The Vols landed the top player in the state of Alabama in the 2025 recruiting cycle as well, beating out Mississippi State for four-star center DeWayne Brown out of Hoover.

A standout at Hale County High School, Mayfield helped lead the Wildcats to an 18-7 record in his junior season. Since the end of his junior season Mayfield has begun turning head on the AAU circuit leading to Tennessee setting up a visit with the 6-foot-7, 190-pound wing. In just the last month, Mayfield has earned offer from Auburn, Alabama, LSU and Florida State.
Tennessee has yet to land a commitment in its 2026 recruiting class though that is little surprise given the early stages of the recruiting calendar. It’s also unclear at this point how many scholarships Tennessee will have to work with. For one, the pending House Settlement could expend the scholarship limit from 13 to 15 players.
The Vols also added five player recruiting class in the 2025 recruiting cycle with most of those players projection as multi-year developmental pieces. Tennessee has just three seniors on its 2025-26 roster — Felix Okpara, Ja’Kobi Gillespie, Amaree Abram — at this point though Nate Ament projects as a one-and-done and there will almost inevitably be some departures to the transfer portal.
