Summary

On this breaking news edition, GoVols247 recruiting insider Ryan Callahan joins Patrick Brown to discuss Tennessee landing 2027 four-star defensive lineman Kadin Fife, the standout at Summerville (Ga.) Chattooga High School who chose the Vols over Auburn, Georgia Tech and Texas A&M. We break down what kind of player Fife will be for the Vols down the road and why Tennessee was the choice now toward the end of his junior season. Then we shifted our focus to Tennessee's 2026 recruiting class in the run-in to Signing Day in December with a look at the remaining targets for the Vols and how the transfer portal window shifting to January impacts coaching staffs in the month of December.
