Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are creating a bit of an offseason headache for Josh Heupel and the Tennessee Vols.

Tennessee landed a commitment from 2027 four-star defensive lineman Kadin Fife last November.

Fife, 6-foot-5/290 pounds from Summerville, GA, is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 39 defensive lineman in the nation and the No. 36 player in the state of Georgia.

Despite his commitment to Tennessee, Fife is taking official visits to other programs.

And Georgia is set to receive one of those visits according to On3’s Chad Simmons.

Fife is also expected to take official visits to Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Auburn, and Texas, in addition to his official visit to Tennessee on June 6.

“With Georgia, it’s the development and the standard,” said Fife to On3 of his interest in the Bulldogs. “You see what they do with defensive linemen, and that stands out. I was up there a couple of weeks ago and it was great. They go hard. They’ve been recruiting me hard and staying consistent.”

Fife told On3 that his commitment to Tennessee is still “strong”.

“I’m still taking visits and seeing everything,” said Fife to On3. “I just want to make sure I’m making the right decision. It is a big decision, a lot of schools are still recruiting me hard, so I want to take these visits and make sure.”

We’ll see if the Vols are able to hold on to the talented 2027 defensive lineman.
