Tennessee Vols commit may have just provided a big hint about 5-star WR Tristen Keys' future plans

The Tennessee Vols are working hard to flip 2026 five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys from the LSU Tigers.

Keys has been committed to LSU since March, but he's continued to speak with other programs, including Tennessee.

On Thursday, On3's Steve Wiltfong reported that Tennessee currently “has the momentum” in the battle for Keys.

Wiltfong's report led to speculation that Keys could be on the verge of flipping to the Vols.

2026 four-star wide receiver Tyreek King, a Vols commit since last October, added to the speculation via a quote he made to Vols on SI's Shayne Pickering.

“I just texted him the other day. I told him 'come on,’" said King to Vols on SI. “He said, 'we are going to see.' It might be a flip, you all are going to see something."
