Tennessee State Mega Camp Notebook

On Wednesday, Tennessee State hosted their annual Mega Camp that featured coaching staffs from the likes of Vanderbilt, Purdue, LSU, Ole Miss, Memphis, Marshall, Ball State, and others in attendance evaluating the top talent in the area.

Rivals.com recruiting analyst Sean Williams was in attendance and provided the following notes from the event.

- It was no surprise that Grant stood out among Wednesday's participants. The tall, lengthy corner was smooth throughout individual drills and also encouraged others as well. The highly-touted 2025 prospect said he's planning to drop a Top 10 as early as next week and narrow his focus moving forward.

- Sneed was head-and-shoulders the best pass-catcher during Wednesday's camp, capping off his performance with a spectacular high-point catch. The 6-foot-5, 223-pound talent picked up a new power five offer from Purdue with his performance. Sneed just visited Tennessee and plans to attend camp at Alabama on June 24th as well.

- Carter, Jr. continues turning heads this summer, picking up a recent offer from Clemson after camping with the Tigers. He also camped at Georgia, where he also has an offer and enjoyed his time working with Bulldogs co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.

- Along with Sneed, Young is also making a case for being the top prospect in Tennessee for the 2026 class. The 6-foot, 174-pound talent went through individual drills at cornerback on Wednesday and looked the part of an elite prospect. Young already holds a who's who offer list and recently camped with Georgia and enjoyed his time working with the Bulldogs' staff.

- Otey is another rising 2026 prospect that is making plenty of waves this summer. He is coming off an impressive camp at Purdue, where the Boilermakers became his latest offer. Ole Miss and Kentucky have also offered.

- Jarvis Strickland is another stock-riser in the 2026 class, the 6-foot-6, 290-pound prospect was a tough task for anyone to get by with his long arms and tremendous footwork. Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, and Michigan State are his most recent offers.

- Antioch (Tenn.) offensive tackle TaKhyvian Whitset picked up his first power five offer from Vanderbilt after Wednesday's performance. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound offensive lineman has an athletic frame, long arms, and is just scratching the surface of his potential.

- Sticking with the offensive line theme, 2025 prospect Kalvin Meadows is another young lineman that has impressive size and early offers from the likes of Troy, Arkansas State, and New Mexico. He already has an 85-inch wingspan and could develop into a talent power five programs begin to offer.

- McCallie (Tenn.) 2025 cornerback Carson Lawrence is a long, rangy defender that is smooth in his backpedal and can cover lots of ground. He just picked up his first power five offer from Vanderbilt to go along with numerous group of five offers. UAB was his latest offer following Wednesday's camp.

- Aidan Wright was one of the standout linebackers from Wednesday's event. The 2025 prospect out of Lipscomb Academy (Tenn.) has a solid frame at 6-foot-3, 213-pound and displayed great change-of-direction. Marshall extended an offer immediately after camp. Wright also holds an offer from Memphis and Eastern Kentucky as well.
