Tennessee football landed a commitment from linebacker Braylon Outlaw in the 2026 recruiting class.
Outlaw received scholarship offers from Arkansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ole Miss, Oregon and South Carolina among others. On Friday, he shared his decision to commit to Tennessee in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Outlaw is a 6-foot, 212-pounder from Pike Road, Alabama.
He has a three-star rating by 247Sports. But he doesn't have a rating yet from 247Sports Composite, which combines grades from major recruiting sites.
In 2023, Outlaw had 89 tackles, 13 tackles-for-loss, seven sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and two defensive TDs as a sophomore.
Outlaw is UT's sixth commitment in the 2026 class. He joins five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon, three-star receiver Tyreek King, three-star offensive lineman Brandon Anderson, three-star tight end Carson Sneed and three-star defensive lineman Tyson Bacon.
