Four-star Tennessee Football wide receiver commitment Tyreek King has shut down his recruitment and will not take visits to other schools, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. King, from Knoxville’s Catholic High School, has been committed to the Vols since October 31.

King is ranked 76 overall in the On3 Ratings. He’s the No. 10 wide receiver in the class and the No. 4 prospect in the state of Tennessee. 

“I’ve been knowing where home was from the beginning,” King said on social media. “Tennessee’s culture is something I want to be a part of. Best fit for me and knowing I’m for sure gonna develop, no place like the Vols, been home!!!”

Tyreek King moved up 48 spots in most recent On3 rankings update

King was one of the biggest climbers in the On300 rankings update three weeks ago, when he moved up 48 spots, going from No. 124 overall to No. 76. 

King is ranked No. 111 overall in the On3 Industry Ranking, where he is the No. 16 wide receiver and the No. 4 prospect in the state of Tennessee.

He’s one of seven commitments the Vols currently have in their 2026 recruiting class and is the second-highest ranked prospect among the group. The class is ranked No. 12 nationally and is No. 5 in the SEC with a class score of 90.38. 

Five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon headlines the group, ranked No. 7 overall in the On3 Industry Ranking. He’s the No. 2 quarterback in the class and the No. 1 player in the state of North Carolina.   

The other five commitments in the class are four-star offensive tackle Gabriel Osenda, four-star tight end Carson Sneed, three-star wide receiver Tyran Evans three-star edge rusher CJ Edwards and three-star linebacker Braylon Outlaw.

Scouting Report — Tyreek King

Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings: “King is one of the better athletes at receiver in the 2026 cycle. We had a chance to see him in person at the Nashville Under Armour camp as well. And we just came away impressed with the twitch and the explosion. He has been a productive, borderline dominant receiver at the high school level. And seeing him against that competition helped us understand where he stacks up in the group of wideouts. He’s a really explosive receiver who can line up all over the formation, can win both deep and underneath. And he’s dangerous with the ball in his hands.”
