Tennessee Volunteers fans, we’ve got some news that might raise some eyebrows. Onis Konanbanny, a 4-star cornerback commit for the Vols’ 2025 class, is reportedly visiting one of Tennessee’s biggest SEC rivals – the Florida Gators.
Konanbanny, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back from Columbia, South Carolina, has been committed to Tennessee since late August. However, it seems he’s exploring his options, and a visit to Florida is certainly an interesting development.
According to 247Sports’ composite rankings, Konanbanny is rated as the No. 31 cornerback in the nation and the No. 7 player in the state of South Carolina. He’s a big-framed defensive back with explosive tendencies and a unique background, having been born in Europe and played soccer throughout his youth before making his way to the United States in 2022.
While this visit might cause some concern among Tennessee fans, it’s worth noting that Konanbanny’s commitment to the Vols is still intact, and this visit could simply be a matter of due diligence on his part.
Tennessee’s 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked No. 7 in the nation, with Konanbanny being one of the crown jewels of the class. The Vols are looking to build on their recent success on the field, and securing the commitments of top recruits like Konanbanny will be crucial to their future success.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this situation, and we’ll be sure to provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the other top recruits who are considering the Vols:
Brayden Rouse, a 4-star athlete from Tennessee, who is considering offers from the Vols, as well as other top programs.
Daune Morris, a 4-star running back from Florida, who is considering offers from the Vols, as well as other top programs.
