Summary

Tennessee football reeled in the eighth commitment of the 2026 recruiting class as edge rusher CJ Edwards announced his commitment to the Vols on Tuesday. Rated as a three-star, is this a diamond in the rough type player for the Vols? It should give Tennessee fans confidence that Rodney Garner and Josh Heupel locked him up in February, says host Eric Cain. How wild is college football right now in terms of tampering? Pete Nakos of On3 speaks with football staffers, collectives and agents to get a grasp on the wild, wild west. We react to that and speak to Josh ward for Ward Wednesday all on today’s show. Locked on Vols is your go-to Tennessee Volunteers podcast, available on YouTube or whatever you find your podcasts.
