Tennessee football offers in-state two-sport athlete

Tennessee offered Jeremiah Stevens, a 2029 defensive lineman and tight end from Oak Ridge High School in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as part of its push for the 2029 class. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound two-sport athlete also plays basketball for the Wildcats, showcasing the versatility the Vols seek at multiple positions. Stevens is the brother of Tennessee freshman defensive lineman Hezekiah Harris, underscoring the program’s strong in-state connections. He also holds an offer from Auburn, highlighting competitive SEC interest in a multi-positional prospect who could project on both sides of the ball. Tennessee currently has 13 commitments for the 2027 signing class, including linebacker JP Peace, offensive tackle Princeton Uwaifo, and defensive lineman Kadin Fife, among others. The Vols had not announced commitments for the 2028 or 2029 cycles at the time of the report. The article originated with Vols Wire, which tracks Tennessee’s recruiting activity and context within the SEC. Stevens’ recruitment illustrates Tennessee’s emphasis on in-state, multi-sport athletes as the program builds depth across signing periods.
