June was a busy month on the college football recruiting trail, with official visits taking place. This included a packed schedule for Tennessee football, which hosted a large number of recruits and ultimately landed a string of them to bolster its 2027 class.

Now, with official visits done, recruits are returning home to process their trips and narrow in on decisions. There is still work to be done to finalize these classes, but this past month was critical in the shaping of the cycle.

Here’s where Tennessee stands as a team and as individual commits so far.
