I spoke with 2026 RB Savion Hiter earlier today. It’s clear De’Rail Sims has done an excellent job here early on. Hiter has built a strong bond with Sims and Aston Walter and has liked what he has heard from Josh Heupel as well as what he has seen from the Tennessee ground attack. He will be back in the fall for a game day. He did note that Tennessee has turned up the heat even more since June 15th but the one thing that caught my attention the most was that he said the Vols have been right at the top for him for sometime. Obviously, a lot of teams involved here, but the Vols are clearly in the thick of it heading into the fall.
