Braylon Outlaw has been committed to Tennessee football since November, but that hasn’t kept Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss from making a hard push at the Volunteer commit.
Outlaw visited Ole Miss once in the winter and again in the spring and had an official visit set up to visit the Rebels during the season. But that visit will no longer happen. Outlaw is officially locked in with his commitment to Tennessee and will no longer take any other visits, he shared on X Thursday night.
“Thanks to every school, Coach and recruiter that has played a part in this journey,” Outlaw wrote. “With that being said, I am shutting down all further recruitments.”

More From RTI: Where Tennessee Football Ranks In ESPN’s Football Power Index Rankings
Outlaw ranks as a three-star recruit and the No. 642 player in the 2026 recruiting cycle according to the 247sports composite rankings. A Pike Road native, Outlaw ranks as the No. 27 player in the state of Alabama and the No. 50 linebacker in his recruiting cycle.
While Outlaw has taken visits to Ole Miss since committing to Tennessee last fall, he has also taken more visits to Knoxville. The three-star recruit unofficially visited Tennessee in December, returned for a Junior Day in January, an unofficial visit in April, the Vols’ 865 Live event Memorial Day weekend and has an official visit set up for next week.
Tennessee football’s 2026 recruiting class currently contains eight commitments but Outlaw is the only linebacker committed. The Vols signed a deep and highly talented linebacker class last cycle, lessening the position’s importance in this recruiting class.
The Vols’ 2026 recruiting class ranks No. 26 nationally and No. 5 in the SEC according to the 247sports team rankings.
