We saw several impressive 2026 players like Kendre Harrison, who is very intrigued by Tennessee. He plays on a Knoxville based AAU team and noted to us that his mom loves the vibe here in East Tennessee.

He will have his pick for where he wants to go. Need to get him on campus as much as possible

Heupel is trying to recruit a basketball team with this 6'8 power forward.

Ya that boy playing basketball in college.

Coach Barnes could be monitoring this guy for the future.

 

[BigALWiLson]

As a freshman this year, Harrison recorded 17 receptions for 263 yards and 5 TDs. But it was on defense that he really shined: 92 tackles, 24 TFL, 9 sacks, 16 QB hurries and 2 blocked punts.

Harrison's also a basketball standout and is currently averaging 22.5 points and 13.7 rebounds per game.

Athleticism. Definitely a want

Maybe he can identify as a female in the spring and play softball. Can you imagine him pitching underhand from 50 ft away?

North Carolina has the chance to be real good to us the next few classes. And with what we did with Jaylen Wright & Pearce it should be

This is why the replacement of Mack will be important, I believe NC fell under his recruiting area due to connections in the area.

Mack knew the states of LA, TX, NC, and VA very well from his previous jobs. Will be important IMO for them to get someone that can at least attack NC/VA

As I said previously, I am sure Heupel knows with success coaches will have other opportunitit’s and is prepared for those times when they leave and has a list of possible coaches that fit his team of coaches and with his team of players ready.

Quietly made it in for a visit right now

 

[MoB_MoVols]

2026 TE Kendre Harrison was the surprise visitor of the weekend, and he had a good visit. He was joined by his mom, and as we have said before, the family really likes Knoxville. He plans to return to campus in June as his relationship has continued to grow with Alec Abeln.

Four-star TE Kendre Harrison of Reidsville (N.C.) will visit Oregon the last week of July and he'll visit Tennessee in June.

He has visited UNC 15 times, he says. Three of those 15 visits were as a basketball recruit and a dozen for football. Hubert Davis and the basketball staff are in communication with him. Heels recently scouted him at the John Wall Invitational. He has been in touch with Julius Peppers, who played both sports at UNC before playing in the NFL. (If you're a two-sport athlete, your scholarship number must count toward the football 85 and not the other sport.) So a walk-on opportunity should carry weight, too.

Penn State has done a nice job here as well. NFL tight end Brenton Strange is from Harrison's neck of the woods and Harrison cited a personal connection to him through his older brother.
