The Tennessee Vols are one of the top six teams for an elite offensive lineman from the west coast.
2025 four-star offensive tackle Jackson Lloyd revealed his top six schools this week and Tennessee made the cut, along with Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, and USC.
Lloyd, 6-foot-7/290 lbs from Carmel, CA, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 19 offensive tackle in the nation and the No. 17 player in the state of California. He's also rated as the No. 187 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class.
Scouting report via 247Sports: Three sport athlete (hoops/baseball) in addition to football. Two-time all-league in basketball, averaged 15.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks a game as a junior and shows the ability to get up and throw it down. Super long tackle with an 80+ wing span and the kind of frame colleges drool over. Plays predominately left tackle but will occasionally line up on the right side and has a few snaps at DT as well. The length jumps out, moves well and is a physical player. Gets to the second level and routinely takes LBs/DBs off the screen and puts guys on their back. Is able to just manhandle kids at the HS level. Still plays high at times and can continue to improve his short area quickness but possess all the physical tools you want to see. Has a nice mean streak to him and plays through the whistle. Has never had a true off-season strength program due to baseball in the Spring and should make a big jump in strength once he gets locked in to a college strength program. Projects as a true tackle with the ability to play for anyone at the next level.
Lloyd doesn't currently have an official scheduled for Tennessee which doesn't seem to bode well for the Vols' chances in this recruiting battle.
Tennessee, however, didn't offer Lloyd until March 6, so it's impressive that the Vols are even in the mix in this battle.
Lloyd doesn't currently have a planned commitment date so maybe the Vols can make up some ground in the coming weeks/months. After all, they clearly have Lloyd's attention to some extent.
