Tennessee has been on a fast-paced recruiting trail lately, offering many prospects nationwide. One of the most recent offers is 2026 wide receiver Jaylen Pile from Texas. Pile is a 6’1 “, 180-pound prospect who recently received an offer from Tennessee. Following his offer, the talented wide-out spoke with Volunteer Country to recap his feelings towards the recent achievement.
“I’m really excited about being offered by Tennessee. I visited last April and got to watch a practice and see Coach [Kelsey] Pope work with the receivers. He wants to develop his guys, and that’s what I’m looking for in a receiver’s coach,” Pile states. He was also asked who sent him the offer, and he responded, “I was really excited when I talked with Coach [Kody] Cook , and he said he and Coach Pope have been keeping an eye on me and really like my route running and my hands. I was blessed to receive an offer from them.”
With the talented Texas athlete being a class of 2026 player, it is important that the Volunteers offered him early on. “It’s a huge deal for me that Tennessee offered. Having them believe in me and want to build a relationship this early means a lot to me,” Pile stated. The skilled prospect was also asked what he believed he could bring to a very successful wide receiver system. “I can run the entire route tree and create separation at the line and down the field. I work with my WR coach, Margin Hooks , every week, and we constantly add to my skills.”
