BREAKING NEWS: Edge Rusher Zach Groves Announces Official Visit to Tennessee Volunteers
In a move that’s sending shockwaves through college football recruiting circles, five-star edge rusher Zach Groves has officially announced his upcoming visit to the University of Tennessee.
Groves, the 6’5”, 245-pound defensive phenom out of DeSoto, Texas, took to social media late Sunday night to reveal the news. “Official visit to Rocky Top — June 14th. Let’s see what Knoxville’s all about,” he posted, accompanied by a photo of himself in an orange Volunteers uniform edit, standing beneath Neyland Stadium’s iconic checkerboard end zones.
For weeks, fans and analysts speculated about Groves’ next move after he narrowed his top five to Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, and Tennessee. His visit to Knoxville marks a major win for Tennessee’s defensive staff, who have been aggressively pursuing Groves since his breakout junior season, where he notched 18 sacks and became a national name.
Sources close to Groves say he’s intrigued by Tennessee’s player development program and the chance to be a centerpiece in their fast-rising defense. “Zach wants to be part of something that’s building momentum,” said a family advisor. “Tennessee’s been making a strong case.”
While a commitment is still down the road, the visit has fans buzzing across Rocky Top. Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel tweeted a single fire emoji minutes after the announcement, only adding fuel to the speculation.
For now, the countdown to June 14 begins. All eyes will be on Knoxville as one of the nation’s top pass rushers steps foot on campus.
Could this visit be the turning point? Stay tuned.
