Five-Star WR Tristen Keys Flips From LSU to Tennessee in 2026 Class

The top‑10 2026 prospect strengthens Tennessee’s haul alongside five‑star quarterback Faizon Brandon.

Overview

  • ESPN reports Keys switched his verbal commitment Thursday after pledging to LSU on March 19.
  • He is a consensus five‑star recruit, rated the No. 1 wide receiver and No. 6 overall by 247Sports Composite and the No. 2 receiver and No. 10 overall in the ESPN 300.
  • His addition elevates a growing Tennessee pass‑catching group that includes Salesi Moa, Tyreek King and Joel Wyatt, with the Vols ranked No. 15 by ESPN before the flip.
  • The move marks LSU’s second straight cycle losing a five‑star wide receiver pledge, following Dakorien Moore’s 2025 decommitment.
  • Recruiting reports say he visited Tennessee on June 13 and told LSU before a June 20 visit he was likely to flip, following a summer of multiple official visits.
