Manny Green, a four-star small forward in the class of 2026, will take an unofficial visit to Tennessee on Saturday, as the eighth-ranked Vols host No. 5 Florida at Food City Center in Knoxville. On3’s Joe Tipton reported the visit on Thursday

The 6-foot-6, 185-pound Green, out of Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Georgia, is ranked No. 63 overall in the On3 Industry Ranking for the 2026 class. He’s the No. 21 small forward and the No. 5 overall prospect in the state of Georgia. 

Tennessee offered Green in July and he previously visited the Vols in October. He has also made unofficial visits to Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State, per Tipton.

Missouri, Virginia, Clemson, Florida and Indiana, among others, have offered Green. 

Tennessee does not currently have any commitments in the class of 2026, while the Vols are still hard at work in the 2025 class.

Four-star PG Chance Mallory scheduled for official visit this weekend

It was reported last week that four-star point guard Chance Mallory, a former Virginia commitment, will take an official visit to Tennessee this weekend. 

The 5-foot-9, 170-pound Mallory, out of Charlottesville, Va., is ranked No. 54 overall in the On3 Industry Ranking for the class of 2025. He’s the No. 8 point guard in the class and the No. 2 overall player in the state of Virginia. 

On Tuesday they hosted Five-Star+ small forward Nate Ament on an unofficial visit for the Kentucky game. 

The 6-foot-9, 185-pound Ament is the top remaining uncommitted player in the class of 2025, ranked No. 4 nationally, No. 2 among small forwards and No. 1 in the state of Virginia, out of Highland High School in Manassas. 

Ament took an official visit to Tennessee on October 18 and has also visited Notre Dame, Texas and Louisville. He has official visits scheduled at Duke on Saturday and Kansas State on February 11.

He cut his list of schools down to 11 schools on January 15: Alabama, Arkansas, BYU, Duke, Georgetown, Kansas State, Kentucky, Louisville, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Texas.

Tennessee has two signees in 2025 class so far

Tennessee currently has two signings in the 2025 class, with four-star shooting guard Amari Evans and four-star center Dewayne Brown signing during the early period in November. 

The 6-foot-5, 204-pound Evans is ranked No. 83 overall in the On3 Industry Ranking. He’s the No. 21 shooting guard in the class and the No. 11 overall player in the state of Pennsylvania. 

Brown is a 6-foot-9, 235-pound center out of Hoover High School in Hoover, Ala. He’s ranked No. 102 overall, No. 10 at center and No. 1 in the state of Alabama.
