Four-star linebacker Edwin Spillman will announce his commitment on July 21.

Tennessee and Ohio State are Spillman’s two finalists.

Spillman is the No. 300 prospect and No. 28 linebacker in the class of 2024. He ranks as the No. 2 linebacker and No. 7 player in Tennessee, according On3 industry rankings.

The 2024 prospect recorded 101 tackles, 14.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks and six pass breakups as a junior. He earned MaxPreps Junior All-American honors and was a first-team All-State selection.

Spillman’s high school teammate, four-star cornerback Kaleb Beasley, committed to the Vols on Oct. 21, 2022. His brother, wide receiver Nate Spillman, signed with Tennessee last year.

The Vols are a projected leader in Spillman’s recruitment, according to On3 RPM.
