BOOM: No. 1 2026 WR Tristen Keys Flips From LSU to Tennessee

Josh Heupel has done it again, folks. Tennessee's 2026 recruiting class already featured the No. 1 QB (Faizon Brandon) and now has the No. 1 WR in the country in Tristen Keys, who flipped his commitment from LSU to the Vols on Thursday. The last school to land the top players at each position in one class was Ohio State with Quinn Ewers and Emeka Egbuka in 2021.

I love paying players, man. Tennessee's football program may very well be dead at this point if it weren't for NIL, given the state Jeremy Pruitt and his ragtag group of ne'er-do-wells left it in. But instead, we're making College Football Playoff appearances and attracting the best players in the country. God is good.

As for Keys, you don't have to watch the tape for very long to understand why this kid is the top-ranked receiver in America. He's 6'3, 185 pounds, runs like a deer and catches every ball he can possibly reach. Biletnikoff loading.
