The Tennessee Volunteers have secured seven commits in the Class of 2026, including three-star EDGE C.J. Edwards, and head coach Josh Heupel and his staff received even more good news about another defensive end prospect. 

Four-star EDGE Dre Quinn included the Volunteers in his top six schools. The Norcross, Georgia, prospect revealed his finalists on April 29, narrowing his list to Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Texas.

Quinn carries an On3 Industry Ranking of No. 31 at EDGE and No. 267 overall in the 2026 class. The prospect holds 27 scholarship offers and has finalized an official visit to Tennessee set for June 20.

“I am down to Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Texas along with Georgia Tech,” Quinn told On3. “I feel best about these schools. They share the same principles, I have relationships with each school and I think that all six fit me. It was hard to get it down to six and there are a lot of great schools that I like, but I have visited a lot of schools and these stand out.”

Quinn’s official visit slate includes stops at Clemson on May 30, Georgia on June 6, following a visit to Georgia Tech on April 26, Texas on June 13 and Notre Dame on June 3. He is expected to make his decision soon after his Knoxville visit. 

“I want to commit in late June or early in July,” He added. “Official visits will be big for sure. It is not all about the NIL or money, so getting to see everything and hear everything on the official visits will be important to me. Getting a real feel for the college each weekend is important too.

“I know a final decision will be hard. These six schools check a lot of boxes for me, so I will really have to look at the pros and cons after the official visits.”
