Recruitment and Commitment

Anderson’s recruitment was highly competitive, with offers from over 20 schools, including prominent programs like Alabama, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Miami.

His decision underscored the Vols’ growing appeal to top-tier talent and their ability to secure commitments from highly sought-after recruits.

Decommitment

As of January 29, 2025, there is no publicly available information indicating that Brandon Anderson has decommitted from the University of Tennessee. His commitment remains a significant highlight in Tennessee’s recruiting efforts for the 2026 class.
