The Tennessee Vols are reportedly receiving an important unofficial visit this weekend from a key recruit. 

According to On3's Steve Wiltfong, 2025 five-star offensive lineman David Sanders Jr will be at Tennessee this weekend for the program's 865 Live event. 

Sanders, 6-foot-6/270 lbs from Charlotte, NC, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the nation and the No. 2 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class. 

Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, and Ohio State are the programs that are Tennessee's top competition in this recruiting battle. 

After taking an unofficial visit to Tennessee this weekend, Sanders will then travel to Clemson at the end of May for his official visit with the Tigers. 

Sanders then has official visits lined up for Georgia (June 7), Tennessee (June 14), Alabama (June 18), and Ohio State (June 21). 

Opinions vary on where Sanders will eventually land. For now, it seems like Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, and Tennessee are the most likely destinations for Sanders. We should have a much better idea of how this recruiting battle will play out after Sanders wraps up his official visits.
