Tennessee HC Josh Heupel Reacts On Vols Landing Coveted 6-Foot-3 Quarterback

The Tennessee Volunteers 2026 recruiting class, ranked top-10 nationally, features eight early pledges anchored by five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon and talents like Tyreek King, Gabriel Osenda, and Tyran Evans. The Vols are aiming to bolster their haul this weekend, targeting linebacker Jordan Carter (a Texas A&M Aggies commit), potential USC Trojans linebacker Xavier Griffin, running back Jaylen McGill, and in-state star Joel Wyatt.

Besides these prospects, the Volunteers have also decided to host young prospects like quarterback Champ Monds from Vero Beach, Fla. and cornerback Larry Moon from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., on a Saturday visit, per On3’s Keegan Pope. Monds, the 6-foot-3 and 200-pound prospect from the class of 2028, has already been approached by dozens of programs.

The signal-caller has secured offers from the Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles, Ole Miss Rebels, Miami Hurricanes and UCF Knights among others, per On3. Chad Simmons of On3 reported that Monds already has more than 20 offers despite being part of the 2028 recruiting class.

During a March 12 interview with Simmons, Monds discussed the programs showing him an early interest:

“I have offers from schools like Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Tennessee, just to name a few.”

When asked about what he brings to a team, Monds noted he can “bring everything to the table” for a college football program.

“I mean, I feel like I bring everything to the table,” Monds explained. “I believe I can make any throw on the field. I can create plays with my legs and I can read defenses. So, I feel like I can do everything.”

Monds cites 3-time Pro Bowler Cam Newton and 2-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson as two of his biggest inspirations. The quarterback has already paid a visit to the Gators this week, who On3 predicts hold a 63.2% chance to get a commitment from Monds.

That story appears to be false — there’s no credible evidence that Peyton Manning converted a hospital room into a football stadium, or that a child “gave up chemotherapy” due to his visit. In fact, Snopes investigated a similar anecdote involving Manning and a teenage cancer patient, and found it to be fabricated rumors paired […]
