In-state safety prospect commits to Tennessee football

Tennessee added a prospect to its 2026 football recruiting class. Three-star safety Luke Thompson committed to the Vols on Saturday.

“Committed,” Thompson announced. “Go Vols!”

The 6-foot, 176-pound prospect is an in-state commitment from Franklin High School in Franklin, Tennessee. 247Sports ranks Thompson as the No. 48 athlete in the class and No. 19 player in Tennessee.

Thompson unofficially visited Tennessee for the UTEP game on Nov. 23, 2024. He received a scholarship offer from the Vols on an unofficial visit April 5. Thompson’s first official visit was on June 6.

Tennessee was the lone Power Four school to offer him a scholarship. Other FBS programs to offer Thompson a scholarship are Middle Tennessee State, Arkansas State, Air Force, Army, Navy, UConn and Miami University.

The Vols have 10 commitments in their 2026 football recruiting class: quarterback Faizon Brandon, wide receiver Tyreek King, tight end Carson Sneed, offensive lineman Gabriel Osenda, wide receiver Tyran Evans, linebacker Braylon Outlaw, defensive lineman C.J. Edwards, defensive lineman Zach Groves, safety K.J. McClain and Thompson.
