Tennessee football landed four-star cornerback Onis Konanbanny, an international athlete who moved to the United States in 2022.

On Friday, Konanbanny committed to the Vols in the 2025 class. He joins what’s already UT’s highest ranked recruiting class since 2015.

Konanbanny’s parents are from the Ivory Coast. But he was born in France, where he lived during his childhood. He moved to London and then finally the United States.
