Tennessee Lands Five-Star Athlete Salesi Moa

Five-star athlete Salesi Moa from Fremont High School in Utah has committed to the Tennessee Volunteers for the 2026 recruiting class, choosing Tennessee over Utah, Michigan, Washington, and Michigan State. Moa is ranked No. 31 overall in the 2026 class by the 247Sports Composite and No. 35 by the ESPN 300, making him the top prospect from Utah. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound athlete plans to play both wide receiver and defensive back. His decision followed a June official visit to Knoxville and was influenced by Tennessee's reputation for developing NFL talent under wide receivers coach Kelsey Pope. Moa's commitment comes shortly after Tennessee landed another top-100 prospect, Joel Wyatt, boosting their 2026 class to No. 15 nationally according to ESPN. Moa, whose father Ben Moa is a former NFL player and UFC fighter, cited Tennessee's developmental program and welcoming environment as key factors in his choice.
