2026 five-star offensive lineman Lamar Brown (Erwinville, La.) has cut his recruitment to 15 schools, including the Tennessee Volunteers.

The 6-foot-3.5, 255-pound Louisiana native has most major programs giving pursuit and decided to make an early cut to his recruitment. On Monday, Brown narrowed his focus to twelve schools - Alabama, Florida State, Houston, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Tulane, UCF, and USC will continue competing for him.
The LSU Tigers have set the pace in his recruitment, as he has visited campus numerous times over the past few years. They have a heavy inside track, but Tennessee and every other program on his list will swing hard over the next year and a half. The Vols were his eleventh scholarship offer, and while he hasn't made it to campus yet, they've already spent a long time developing a relationship with him.
