Jeremias Heard Signs With Tennessee

Early national signing day is upon us, and the Tennessee Volunteers are hoping to finish strong. They've recruited at a high rate under head coach Josh Heupel and brought in some major difference-makers in their 2023 signing class. Volunteer Country will provide readers with an in-depth breakdown of each signee.

Defensive lineman Jeremias Heard is the fourth commit to turn in their national letter of intent. He is the No. 593 player in the cycle, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. While he doesn't have any football tape available, there are a few interesting notes on him.

He began playing football in his junior season of high school - the former basketball player is 6-9 and could eventually become an offensive tackle for the Vols. Tennessee was his first offer, and he remained locked in with them even though other high-major programs came calling, hoping to get him on campus.
