Tennessee’s 2026 class seems to be holding firm as four-star athlete Salesi Moa remains locked in with Vols.

The Utah native gave Vol fans a little scare over the weekend. 

Moa was in Ann Arbor for The Game between Ohio State and Michigan, where the Buckeyes rolled to a 27-9 win.

The visit ignited speculation whether Michigan could flip the Fremont High star, but according to a report from Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong, the vibe is that Moa will stick with the Volunteers ahead of Wednesday’s Signing Day.

Wiltfong reported the trip “went well” and Moa has built a good relationship with Michigan defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan, yet it doesn’t seem the Wolverines did quite enough to earn a flip from Moa.

Ranked No. 45 overall in the 2026 cycle, Moa committed to Tennessee in late July over Michigan, Utah, Michigan State, and Washington. 

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound athlete has been one of the most coveted prospects in the country for his versatility on the gridiron.

With National Signing Day set for Wednesday, all signs point to Moa putting pen to paper and officially joining the Volunteers.
