Tennessee, like numerous others, will not throw in the towel for elite 2027 WR Kesean Bowman despite his early commitment to Oregon. The Vols are continuing to recruit the in-state standout wide receiver, and he also tells us he will be in town next weekend for Tennessee’s top-25 matchup against Georgia. We expect him to continue taking visits throughout his recruitment.

Yeah, he ain't committed.

Oregon really uses their WRs as well as anyone does. They get easy catches and even line up at RB sometimes.

I know Ayden Green from that same team plays for VT

Per Chad Simmons

Kesean Bowman committed earlier than most expected, and he chose a school on the other side of the country — Oregon. Tennessee has not slowed their recruitment down of the in-state playmaker. The Vols are pushing hard to keep the four-star out of Brentwood (Tenn.) Brentwood Academy home. He will be in Knoxville next weekend. Bowman was at Ohio State last weekend, where the Buckeyes made a major impression, and he plans to visit Texaslater this fall. LSU is another program he’s eyeing for a visit. While Bowman remains committed to Oregon, his recruitment is far from finished, and we view Tennessee as the Ducks’ top competition.

Haven't we had a history of missing on a lot of Brentwood Academy players for some reason?

No idea but a couple stand out we didn’t miss in GMac, Derek Barnett.

And Scott Wells. And Bubba Miller. Probably some others.

I'm just going from memory but we usually get the guys we want out of BA. I can't think of many misses for guys we wanted.

Gaulden went to Independence in Thompsons' Station with Vic Wharton.

Man, I had forgotten all about Turner. Good pull on that one.

Ramsey was never going to UT. He and his dad are...well, something.

Josh Swords by far the biggest miss…

Josh Swords by far the biggest miss…

Swords wasn't really a miss. Neither was Richard Land. Tennessee didn't pursue either.

I know this first hand because a couple of the BA assistant coaches at the time were family friends. They had a great relationship with UT coaches and were honest about both to the staff. One of them told me about Land, "he's liable to pancake his man on 1st and 2nd down, then sack his own QB on 3rd down."

Both were just very overrated. Swords' dad had some connection with The Tennessean and got them to really hype him up. Obviously, neither did anything at Alabama and Texas, respectively, which justified the notion that they were overrated…as well as Tennessee’s indifference towards both as recruits.
