SEC Defensive Backs Host Football Camp at Central High School

Several top college football programs are actively recruiting highly ranked high school prospects for their 2026 and 2027 classes. Tennessee is a key focus, hosting official visits from elite linebackers Brayden Rouse and Ja'Bios Smith, as well as defensive end Jerimy Finch Jr., all considered major targets due to their high rankings and potential impact. Rouse, a four-star linebacker, has multiple visits under his belt and is expected to decide soon, with Tennessee viewed as a front-runner despite competition from schools like Texas, Michigan, and Alabama. Finch Jr. is set to announce his college choice soon, with Tennessee among his final options alongside programs such as Michigan and Alabama. The University of Utah is also making recruitment strides, hosting JUCO tight end Josiah Jefferson and several local prospects to bolster its 2026 class, which recently grew with multiple commitments. Additionally, SEC defensive backs TJ Banks and Brylo Lanier hosted a community-focused football camp with Cleveland Browns cornerback Tony Brown, emphasizing skill development and work ethic for young athletes.
