Tennessee offered a scholarship to 2026 edge prospect Tariq Boney.
“Extremely blessed to receive an offer from the University of Tennessee,” Boney said.
The 6-foot-2, 230-pound edge prospect is from St. John’s High School in Washington, D.C. He is recruited by Tennessee defensive backs coach Tim Banks.
There are not recruiting rankings currently for Boney from Rivals, 247Sports, On3 or ESPN.
