Kim Caldwell and the Lady Vols are set to host one of the nation’s most premier prospects this weekend, fresh off landing the No. 1 overall recruiting class in the 2025 cycle.
Class of 2026 five-star forward Oliviyah Edwards is set to be in Knoxville for an official visit for UT football’s clash with Georgia this weekend, as first reported by 247 Sports’ Dushawn London.
The Tacoma, Washington native is ranked as the No. 5 recruit nationally in the 2026 cycle and continues to draw interest from some of the top programs in the country.
Edwards officially visited Florida last weekend during their brutal loss to USF. She has official visits lined up with South Carolina on Sept. 19, LSU on Oct. 9, and will travel to USC on Feb. 12.
Standing at 6-foot-3, Edwards would be the first commitment in the 2026 cycle for Kim Caldwell and Co. as they look to assemble another nationally elite group and build off the momentum from their top-ranked 2025 class.
