When the most offered prospect of the 2026 recruiting class takes to Twitter to announce a visit to Tennessee, you pay attention. This is exactly what happened when star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin posted this on Tuesday:
“Can’t wait to see the Tennessee Volunteers play Kentucky this weekend. #GBO.”
Here are a few things to know about this special visitor to Rocky Top.
