For N.C. LB, receiving an offer from Tennessee on his visit was “pretty exciting.”
Earlier this month, a Class of 2026 linebacker from North Carolina, Dallas Brannon, received an offer from Tennessee during his inaugural visit to Knoxville. Despite having a preference for one of Tennessee’s SEC rivals while growing up, Brannon expressed his excitement about the Vols joining the list of teams actively pursuing him. The linebacker, hailing from Independence High School in Charlotte, N.C., participated in Tennessee’s first junior day of the year on Feb. 3, where he was presented with a scholarship offer. This marked Brannon’s second SEC offer, and noteworthy is his familial connection as the son of former Georgia tight end Robert Brannon.
