Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy tackle Rance Brown is the No. 919 overall player in the 2027 Rivals Industry Ranking and a top-40 prospect in Tennessee. This three-star offensive tackle took visits to Georgia Tech, Auburn, and Kentucky this spring. UK, Auburn, and North Carolina have a June official visit scheduled. Brown is ready to make his decision now. Auburn is the heavy favorite in Rivals’ Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Lebanon (Tenn.) Friendship Christian standout Kaden Buchanan is the No. 422 overall player in the 2027 Rivals Industry Ranking and a top-20 prospect in Tennessee. This high three-star recruit just wrapped up an official visit to NC State. Missouri, Virginia Tech, and Kentucky were other contenders in this recruitment. UK got Buchanan on campus twice for unofficial visits during the spring semester. This one feels like a close race but Buchanan’s recent NC State visit seems to loom large.

Kentucky currently has three offensive line prospects in the 2027 class with some more additions expected.
