Tennessee football to host official visits before recruiting dead period
The NCAA football recruiting dead period is slated for June 26-July 24.
During a dead period, it is considered not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations, on or off the member institution’s campus, or to permit official or unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution’s campus, per the NCAA.
The Vols are scheduled to host 2024 prospects for official visits ahead of the upcoming dead period.
The Vols have 14 commitments in the 2024 class: Offensive lineman Max Anderson, cornerback Kaleb Beasley, defensive lineman Carson Gentle, athlete Marcus Goree Jr., athlete Jonathan Echols, quarterback Jake Merklinger, offensive tackle Jesse Perry, offensive tackle Gage Ginther and safety Edrees Farooq, defensive lineman Jeremias Heard, edge rusher Kellen Lindstrom and running back Peyton Lewis, athlete Boo Carter and linebacker Jordan Burns.
Below are 2024 recruits who scheduled official visits to Tennessee ahead of the upcoming NCAA dead period.
