The dust has all but settled from the first National Signing Day for Tennessee football, leaving the floor open for new head coach Josh Heupel to begin recruiting his own players to Rocky Top. Luckily, the former UCF Knights head coach won’t have to look far to find elite-level talent for his first recruiting class in Knoxville.

Heupel emphasized in his first press conference that recruiting the state of Tennessee was crucial, he is is overflowing with opportunity in the 2022 in-state class. According to the 247 Sports’ composite rankings, the average rating of the top 10 players in this year’s in-state class ranks among the best over the last five years, evenly matched with 2020 and better than 2019.

Obviously, the Vols can’t land all of these names, nor are they really expected to, but landing most of them is paramount in providing Heupel and his staff a healthy stable of talent. Here are the top 10 in-state prospects for Tennessee football to pursue. All rankings are according to the 247 Sports Composite rankings which take into account rankings from all major recruiting services.

10. Kaden Martin – Quarterback

Hometown: Knoxville, Tenn. (Knoxville Catholic High School)

The son of UT national championship quarterback Tee Martin, Kaden Martin is the No. 8 ranked dual-threat quarterback nationally and the No. 298 ranked player overall. On an interesting note, Martin played alongside current UT underclassmen Cooper Mays and Tyler Baron during his sophomore year at Knoxville Catholic.

As a highly coveted baseball recruit, Martin also holds an offer from Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello to contribute as a multi-sport athlete. According to the high school baseball ranking site perfectgame.com, Martin’s 10 “PG score” translates to a potentially very high professional draft pick or elite Division I college prospect as an outfielder.

Obviously, with his father’s recent departure from Josh Heupel’s coaching staff to join the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL, Martin’s future with Tennessee football is uncertain. However, at 6’1″ 210 pounds, he would be a huge addition to the Vols both on the gridiron and on the diamond.
