With 30 tackles and six pass deflections at the end of the Cougars’ 2017 season, the 6-foot-2-inch lockdown cornerback has amassed over 100 tackles in his career. Gabe is expected to have a significant impact right away on the field and will be a great addition to the Tennessee football secondary.
In a recent social media post, 5-star prospect and No. 1 overall 2023 football recruit Nico Iamaleava showed off his exceptional arm strength and accuracy.
In a recent article, On3 Sports said the following about Nico:
Volunteer fans are eager to see the 5-star in person during spring camp because he has been showcasing why he is the best in his class online.
The Vols won the Orange Bowl last year after going 11-2 and defeating Clemson in just two seasons. Tennessee football has an 18-8 record under Heupel, with victories over Florida, Alabama, LSU, and Clemson. In addition, Heupel guided the Vols to their first No. 1 finish since 1998.
Bryce Lewis Discusses Tennessee Offer And Upcoming Visit To Georgia Game Bryce Lewis, a three-star tight end from Roswell, Georgia, is committed to Arizona for 2025, but the Tennessee Volunteers have made a significant push to recruit him.
Under head coach Josh Heupel, the Vols have had favorable experiences in the state of Georgia. Early identification of young talent in the Peach State allows them to cultivate relationships with prospects and gain an advantage in recruitment. Blessed Trinity tight end Blake Lewis, an Arizona commit who is rapidly making a name for himself, received an offer from them.
Lewis weighs 208 pounds and is approximately 6 feet 6 inches tall. He’s got offers from Arizona, Vanderbilt, Kansas, and other places. Currently, he has an offer from Tennessee. Not long after, he made time to visit Volunteer Country.
“It’s a significant offer. It’s not just a fantastic school; their athletic departments have accomplished incredible things. They have produced some incredible athletes, including Peyton Manning and more recent athletes like Jordan Hyatt and Hendon Hooker. Tennessee is not only a fantastic university, but it’s also nearby. Thus, this holds great significance for me,” says Lewis. He has already started forming bonds with the tight ends coach, Alec Abeln, and other assistants in the Tennessee tight ends room.
