The 2024 College Football signing day has come and gone. Now mostly a quiet day with the early signing period in mid-December becoming more popular, most teams get their fill early on. With that said, the Tennessee football team had a very quiet day, but ultimately how did they do? Let's break it down.

Per 247Sports, Tennessee football finished at number 13, just outside the top 10. But Heupel once again showed that he can recruit, nabbing two 5-stars in WR Mike Matthews and Edge Jordan Ross. Overall, the Vols signed 21 players, with (eight) being in the top 300 of the 2024 class. The Vols also did well in the transfer portal as well, headlined by former 5-star offensive tackle Lance Heard, star tight-end Holden Staes from Notre Dame, and star wide receiver Chris Brazzell from Tulane. All three respectively rank 18, 29, and 70 in the transfer portal rankings per 247Sports.
