Elite LB target Brayden Rouse ready to see Vols again ahead of official visits
Elite 2026 Kell High School (Ga.) linebacker Brayden Rouse is set to return to Rocky Top this weekend. The four-star prospect tells Volquest he will visit Tennessee for the annual “865 Live” recruiting event.
Rouse has been a frequent visitor on Rocky Top over the past several months, and he will get another look at Tennessee ahead of June’s official visits.
Rouse most recently visited Tennessee for the spring game, and he came away impressed again.
“It was a great time coming up here again,” Rouse told Volquest at the time. “I got to go bowling with some of the players. I had some more football meetings with the coaching staff, and they were just testing my football intelligence. It was good to talk more football, and then really get to hang out with the players and seeing how I fit in with the linebackers and if I mesh well with them.”
“Every time I come, they just show me how much of a priority that I am,” the four-star added at the time. “They constantly show amazing hospitality to me and my family. They do a lot of different things compared to other schools like team bonding stuff. Coach Inge is really good in involving me with the linebackers as much as he can. They do a really good job of that.”
