Tennessee Basketball Secures Top 2026 Five-Star Prospects

Tennessee basketball is actively recruiting for its 2026 class, targeting several top prospects but currently has no commitments. Five-star small forward Chris Washington Jr., ranked as the No. 10 small forward nationally and top player in Tennessee, has included the Vols among his top seven schools, though he has yet to visit. Additionally, five-star point guard Tay Kinney, the top-ranked point guard in the class, and four-star small forward Jacob Webber have both received scholarship offers from Tennessee. The Vols' 2025 class includes six commitments, featuring high-profile players like five-star forward Nate Ament, the highest-rated recruit in Tennessee history, and international guards Ethan Burg and Clarence Massamba, who bring professional experience to the roster. Head coach Rick Barnes has blended a mix of transfers, international talent, and top recruits to build a dynamic squad for the upcoming seasons. Tennessee continues to compete with multiple Power Five programs for elite recruits as it develops its future roster.
