The Tennessee board, the games of September 10 and 11

Recruit Intel scored every recorded box score in its database for the current weekly window and ranked the field by RPM, our Recruit Performance Metric. Tennessee's share of the September 17 run is 1291 scored performances across 156 schools. What follows is the 10 highest of those Tennessee scores, each from a game played on September 10 or 11. Every stat line below comes from our canonical database, drawn from recorded box scores, and every player named is verified by record identifier against a 2026 stat row at the school he is credited to.

The 10 highest scores

RPM is a percentile score computed within a position family, quarterbacks against quarterbacks and runners against runners, across the full national pool scored in this window. A score near 100 means the performance sat at the very top of its family nationally. The 10 below are separated by 2.17 of a point from top to 10th, and all 10 carry the same grade of A+. By class they break 6 from the class of 2027 and 4 from 2028.

How the board is built

The ranking is the top 10 Tennessee scores by RPM with at least one game in the window, after our standard filters remove merged duplicate records, players our database does not treat as recruitable, and rows with no listed position. We also set aside a handful of players whose listed position sat on the opposite side of the ball from the stat line that earned the score, and promoted the next clean entry in each case. Ties would break to the younger class, then to record identifier. Opponent rankings are our own Tennessee team rankings as of September 17, printed because Tennessee is one of the 14 states where our team rankings are live. Two opponents, Sunbright and William Blount, are not yet ranked, so no ranking is printed for those games.
