Josh Huepel’s 2026 recruiting class has begun to take shape. Tennessee is ranked No. 8 in the nation for recruiting according to 247sports.com, as well as No. 5 in the Southeastern Conference.

Let's take a look at how some of these recruits performed over the past weekend:

Salesi Moa, athlete

Ranked as a four-star prospect in the 247 system, Moa sits as the Vols’ fourth-highest-ranked commit from the 2026 class.

Moa, a senior out of Ogden, Utah, has been recruited heavily on both sides of the football, but his offensive ability has been on full display during his senior season. Moa currently sits 43rd nationally in receiving yards with 1,049, along with 14 total touchdowns.

Moa has been a Swiss Army Knife on offense. In his last game on Oct. 15 against Roy High School,  Moa collected 115 receiving yards and four receptions, along with a touchdown.

Moa has tallied 100+ receiving yards in seven straight contests and has only posted less than 90 yards receiving once this season, in the first game of the year.

Defensively, Moa has two interceptions on the season, along with 49 total tackles.

Brayden Rouse, linebacker

Rouse, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound senior out of Kell High School in Georgia, is yet another example of the Vols welcoming another high school two-way player.

Like Moa, Rouse has posted notable numbers on both sides of the ball, but according to all the recruiting sites, Rouse is labeled as a linebacker.

While the numbers don’t pop off the page, Rouse has accumulated solid numbers, including 44 combined tackles on the season as well as 7.5 tackles for loss. In his most recent contest on Oct. 17, Rouse had four tackles in his team’s 55-20 win over Centennial High School.

According to 247sports, Rouse is ranked as the nation’s fourth-best linebacker and the state of Georgia’s 10th-best player.

T.J. White, linebacker

Another four-star linebacker prospect that landed with the Vols, T.J. White, out of Jackson, Miss., is currently ranked in the top 310 players in high school for sacks with nine over seven games.

White has been everywhere on the field. In his last game against Jackson Prep, he posted 12 total tackles, eight of them being solo, while also compiling 4.0 tackles for loss, three being sacks.

With one of his best games of the season, White moved his totals to nine sacks, 14.0 tackles for loss, and 58 total tackles, cementing his status as a force to be reckoned with on the defensive side.

Legend Bey, quarterback

Legend Bey, a three-star quarterback out of Forney, Texas, has had quite the senior season. His most recent game, despite the loss against Rockwall-Heath High School, saw Bey post 157 yards passing. Yet his arm may not be what attracts the most desire from Bey; it’s his ability to extend the play with his feet.

In the same game, Bey ran for 275, his most in one game on the season by a wide margin. Bey finished his game with 432 total yards. He finds himself in the top 100 in the state of Texas for rushing yards as well.
