Vols Edge Texas for 4-Star LB Brayden Rouse

Huge win for Rocky Top! The Vols just landed four-star LB Brayden Rouse over Texas, giving Coach Heupel another big recruiting victory in SEC country. Rouse, now paired with fellow top-100 LB TJ White, makes Tennessee’s defense look scary for the 2026 cycle. This commitment bumps the Vols up to No. 13 nationally in the Rivals rankings, leapfrogging Penn State and Florida. Is this the class that finally cracks the Top 10? Let’s hear your thoughts, Vol Nation! #Sports #Vols #Recruiting
