Fab Four: Selecting Tennessee football’s Mount Rushmore of all-time recruits

On the eve of early signing day, Vols Wire recalls the most hyped commits in school history.

As the early signing period quickly approaches, Tennessee football is looking to lock in its 2021 recruiting class. The Tennessee program has been able to sign highly touted prospects over the years.

Along with all of the other College Wire sites, Vols Wire has put together a Mount Rushmore of the greatest recruits in Tennessee football history.

The criteria to make this list fairly simple.

Each player must have signed a national letter of intent out of high school to play for the Vols, and must have taken part in at least one full season at Tennessee.

This is not a list that consists of the greatest players in Tennessee history. It is a list of student-athletes who made the most national headlines when signing to play at the University of Tennessee and who went on to have a productive career for the Vols.
