Elite Vols recruiting target expected to visit Tennessee for Alabama game after not making it to the Florida game

2026 five-star offensive lineman Immanuel Iheanacho was expected to visit Knoxville last weekend for the Tennessee Vols' game against the Florida Gators.

Iheanacho, however, never made it to Rocky Top.

That's the bad news. The good news, though, is that Iheanacho is expected to be at Tennessee for the Alabama game this weekend according to Rivals.com's Adam Gorney .
