Tennessee football had a number of recruits on campus this past weekend for official visits. This included some players already committed to the Vols, including kicker Ford Fehling.
Fehling has been committed to UT since June 9, 2026. Now, he had a chance to go with his family to Knoxville to get a better look at his new home and spend time with the coaching staff, including head coach Josh Heupel.
Fehling was also being recruited by Iowa and Coastal Carolina before picking Tennessee. He ultimately committed to the Vols after attending a UT camp the day prior. His primary recruiter with Tennessee is special teams coordinator Evan Crabtree.

The kicker is one of 16 commits in the 2027 class for Tennessee. The group ranks as the No. 42 unit in the country, according to 247. Fehling is not listed with a ranking on 247, but owns four-star status on Kohl’s Kicking.
“Fehling showed high level combo ability once again at the 2025 Kohl’s National Scholarship Camp,” Kohl’s Kicking wrote. “His command of his “A” ball is elite and his coordination is excellent. He scored 92.35 points in the punt charting and connected with a big ball of 44 yards with 4.21 seconds of hang time. He scored 22 points in the field goal charting and produced a score of 108.83 points in the kickoff charting…”
Fehling is one of two specialists committed in the 2027 class for the Vols, as well. He joins longsnapper Sam McKeown in the boat. McKeown is from Jenks, Oklahoma, and ranks as the No. 2 longsnapper in the country on Kohl’s Kicking.
