CB Dylan Haley decommits from Tennessee

Flowery Branch (Ga.) Cherokee Bluff cornerback Dylan Haley, a three-star prospect in the 2027 class, decommitted from Tennessee on Tuesday. He had been committed to the Volunteers since June.

Haley originally picked Tennessee over offers from Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Georgia and Auburn, among others.

“After much prayer, thought, and conversations with my family, I have decided to decommit from the University of Tennessee and reopen my recruitment,” Haley posted on social media. “I am grateful for the relationships I’ve built and the opportunities I’ve been given.”

The Rivals Industry Rankings, a weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services, ranks Haley as the No. 552 prospect in the 2027 class and the No. 57 cornerback nationally. He’s listed at 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds.

Tennessee’s 2027 class

Tennessee sits at No. 22 nationally and 10th in the SEC in the Rivals Industry Team Rankings. Haley’s exit leaves Josh Heupel‘s program with 18 commitments in the 2027 class.

Five-star running back David Gabriel Georges (No. 8) is the top-ranked pledge in the Vols’ class. Wide receiver Kesean Bowman (No. 69) and linebacker Kenneth Simon II (No. 156) are among the six four-stars pledged to Heupel’s program.

Tennessee still has three cornerbacks committed: three-stars Slim Leavell (No. 659), Preston Glasco (No. 720) and Carter Jamison (No. 1,164). Glasco committed Oct. 28.
