## Resource

Tennessee football surges in recruiting as five-star wide receiver Eric McFarland from IMG Academy headlines a standout weekend of official visits. Can Coach Josh Heupel and receivers coach Kelsey Pope continue Tennessee’s streak of elite five-star wideout commitments? Highly touted prospects like Caden Moss, Marvin Nguetsop, and Darrius White add to the excitement, while peer recruitment efforts intensify with in-state talent Slim Leavell already locked in. Lady Vols softball clinches their 10th trip to the Women’s College World Series under Karen Weekly, defeating Georgia behind Sophia Knight’s power and Sage Mardjetko’s relief heroics. Meanwhile, Josh Elander’s Tennessee baseball team awaits its NCAA Tournament regional destination, with projections eyeing Hattiesburg or Chapel Hill as possible hosts. Recruiting buzz grows around local stars Malik Howard and rising 2028 running back Kevin Hartsfield. Can Tennessee maintain recruiting momentum and carry spring sports success into the postseason spotlight?
