Tennessee baseball signee Sean Dunlap withdrawing from 2026 MLB Draft
Tennessee baseball signee Sean Dunlap is withdrawing from the 2026 MLB Draft and will play for Tennessee next season after going unselected in the first 10 rounds on July 12.
Dunlap, a catcher from Crown Point, Indiana, announced his decision on social media. One of the top position players in Tennessee’s 2026 recruiting class, he is ranked by Perfect Game as the No. 2 catcher and No. 38 recruit in the country.
He committed to Tennessee in November 2024 over Indiana, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Mississippi State, Indiana and others.
Dunlap entered the draft ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 124 prospect, third-best among high school catchers, and participated in the draft combine. He was ESPN’s No. 49 prospect.
Dunlap, who stands at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, was named the 2026 player of the year in his home state by Prep Baseball Report and MaxPreps and was the Chicago Post-Tribune’s area player of the year. He hit .473 with 45 RBIs, nine home runs, 11 doubles and three triples for Crown Point.

Former Tennessee Football Position Coach Beats Out Vols For Commitment of Elite Recruit | Rocky Top Insider

Tennessee football made the final cut for one of the top linebackers in the class of 2027, Roman Igwebuike, but couldn’t seal the deal. Instead, he’s taking his talents to Notre Dame as he announced his commitment to the Irish on Saturday evening.
It was a former Josh Heupel Era UT position coach who led the charge for Igwebuike, as well. Brian Jean-Mary, the Vols’ linebackers coach from 2021-23, now leads the linebacker room at Notre Dame and was the primary recruiter for Igwebuike.
Jean-Mary left Tennessee for a position at Michigan as defensive run game coordinator/linebackers coach. However, with the coaching change in Ann Arbor this offseason, he landed on his feet and joined the Irish’s staff as Marcus Freeman’s run game coordinator/linebackers coach.
More From RTI: Nike Reportedly Not Willing to Help Ohio State’s Recruitment of David Gabriel Georges
Igwebuike is one of the top linebackers in the class of 2027. On 247 Composite, he ranks as the No. 123 player in the country, No. 9 linebacker and No. 8 player from the state of Illinois. He is from Chicago, where he plays for Mount Carmel.
“Well-rounded linebacker that has a chance to be a linchpin in the middle for a College Football Playoff hopeful after a productive prep career outside of Chicago,” 247 director of scouting Andrew Ivins wrote. “Looks the part with a muscular 6-foot-3, 225-pound frame. Sees it well from the shelf as he reads his keys and flows to the football. Navigates busy intersections at a higher level and can slip underneath blocks. Comfortable dropping into space and is rather effective as a spy…”
Igwebuike’s primary recruiter at Tennessee was linebackers coach William Inge. He has made trips to Knoxville to see the Vols, including the Orange and White Game this past April, but never announced an official visit to UT.
Tennessee currently holds 16 commitments in the 2027 class, which ranks 43rd in the country on 247. This features two linebackers, both legacies, in four-star Kenneth Simon II and three-star JP Peace.
