Tennessee football’s top-rated commit in the class of 2027 is no longer willing to entertain offers from other schools. On Wednesday night, blue-chip wide receiver Kesean Bowman officially shut down his recruitment and announced he’s locked in with the Vols on his Instagram in a post made in conjunction with RockyTopNow.
Bowman ranks as a four-star prospect on 247 Composite. He is slotted as the No. 56 player in the country, No. 9 wide receiver and No. 3 player from the state of Tennessee, as well. He is from Brentwood, Tennessee, where he stars for Brentwood Academy.
Bowman announced his commitment to the Vols back on March 28, 2026. Since then, he’s taken multiple visits to UT, including an official visit on June 5.

Bowman leads the back for a growing 2027 recruiting class for Tennessee. The Vols hold 16 commitments, which ranks as the No. 37 group in the country on 247.
