Tennessee football is one of the remaining 10 schools for four-star wide receiver Jaden Upshaw. He is down to Alabama, Georgia, Miami, Texas A&M, USC, Michigan, Florida State, Florida, Syracuse and UT, according to Hayes Fawcett.
Upshaw ranks as the No. 78 player in the country in the 2027 class, via 247 composite rankings. This makes him the No. 14 wide receiver in the class, though 247’s own rankings have him back to No. 81 in the country, but No. 11 at the position.
He is the No. 10 player out of Georgia in both rankings. Upshaw plays for Lee County in Leesburg, Georgia, where he is a junior.
This narrowing of schools comes after a recent visit to see Tennessee in person. He was in town at the beginning of November for a game day visit when the Vols hosted Oklahoma. While UT lost the game, it has left a positive impression on the recruits in attendance.

Currently, Tennessee holds three commitments in the 2027 class. This is headlined by the most recent addition, offensive lineman Princeton Uwaifo. He is from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and is considered a four-star and No. 110 recruit in the country by 247. This is good for No. 11 offensive tackle and No. 6 in the state.
UT also holds the commitments from a pair of three-star defenders. Legacy recruit JP Peace, the grandson of Phillip Fulmer and son of Robert Peace, and cornerback Kamauri Whitfield are both already in the boat.
Tennessee is in good standing for multiple other top targets, as well. As the 2026 class comes to an end, the Vols have been placed in nearly countless top schools lists for the best prospect around the country.
