'26 MS WR Tristen Keys (Tennessee commit)

Keys' relationship with Kelsey Pope was an integral piece in the decision to flip. Pope and Keys have been constantly talking for two years and did so even though he was committed to LSU. “Coach Kelsey is my guy,” Keys said. “I met him early in my recruitment and he is my dog. He was that way before I committed. He would hit me up and we talked on the phone. We get along and relate to each other. You have that person you can relate too and then he can coach you on the field so you know both sides to him.”

Pope has now landed four marquee wideouts in the 2026 cycle. He joins Tyreek King, Legend Bey and Salesi Moa in this class. Keys likened them to a pretty elite squad.

“That’s like the 2016 Warriors with KD and (Steph) Curry and everybody,” Keys said. “You can’t ask for anything better than that. We have the speed and length outside. We have guys that can move. All of us can get off press. All of us can run and I don’t think you can beat that. All of us on the field is unstoppable. You can’t really beat it. There is no limit. It’s how far we can take it.”
