Two days before its 2025 season begins, the Tennessee football team landed a huge recruiting win on Thursday.
Five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys announced on Instagram that he has flipped his commitment from LSU to the Volunteers. He had previously been committed to the Tigers since March.
Keys, the No. 6 overall recruit and No. 1 wide receiver in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite rankings, is coming off a breakout junior season at Hattiesburg (Miss.) High in which he amassed 58 catches for 1,275 yards and 14 touchdown catches.
With his flip, Keys becomes the third five-star prospect in Tennessee’s 2026 class, joining quarterback Faizon Brandon and offensive tackle Gabriel Osenda. The Vols’ 2026 class ranks eighth nationally in the 247Sports composite class rankings.
