Vols Lock In 2027 RB Asa Barnes | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee football just pulled off a major recruiting win with three-star running back Asa Barnes, who chose the Vols over Arkansas, Florida State, and USC. Ranked 22nd in Tennessee and 36th among RBs nationally, Barnes boosts the 2027 class to 19 players and 21st nationally. With a disappointing 8-5 season and a Music City Bowl loss last year, the Vols are under pressure to rebound under coach Josh Heupel, entering his sixth season with a 45-20 record. The 2026 slate kicks off at home vs. Furman, then hits the road against Georgia Tech, before facing Texas on Sept. 26.
