The Tennessee Vols are among the top schools for four-star wide receiver from Georgia. 

Tennessee made the top three on Saturday for 2025 four-star wide receiver Thomas Blackshear, along with Georgia and Florida State. 

Blackshear, 6-foot-2/185 lbs from Savannah, GA, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 42 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 36 player in the state of Georgia. 

The talented wide receiver took an unofficial visit to Tennessee in late November for the Vols' matchup against Georgia. 

Tennessee could have an advantage in this recruiting battle thanks to Blackshear's connection to 2024 Vols signee Jake Merklinger. 

Blackshear and Merklinger, a four-star quarterback, were teammates at Calvary Day School. 

The four-star wide receiver told GoVols247 that he likely won't make a decision until the summer at the earliest.
