Trey McNutt Cuts Recruitment, Includes Tennessee Vols
2025 four-star safety Trey McNutt (Shaker Heights, Oh.) has reduced his recruitment to eight programs and included the Tennessee Volunteers.
Shaker Heights High School safety Trey McNutt is regarded as one of the top players at his position by every major recruiting service. The Ohio native has the attention of several high major programs, including the Tennessee Volunteers, and he reduced his recruitment to eight schools on Monday.
Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and USC will continue competing for McNutt. According to the On3 Industry Rankings, he ranks as the No. 30 prospect in the 2025 class and holds 36 offers. McNutt has visited Knoxville, Tennessee, twice in the past and is high on the Vols. We’ll see if Tennessee manages to get him on campus for an official visit in the summer, as the Ohio State Buckeyes seem to be leading the race for him.

Tennessee State men’s hockey cancels 2026-27 inaugural season for second straight year
Tennessee State men’s hockey has once again canceled its inaugural season.
The first ever ice hockey team at an historically Black, public university was expected to begin play in 2025-26, but the season was canceled due to a fundraising shortfall. Now, the team has canceled its 2026-27 season according to a source with knowledge of the situation who wished to remain anonymous because the news is not public.
The Tennessean reached out to Tennessee State president Dwayne Tucker, who decline to comment on the situation.
The Tennessee State’s men’s hockey website does not have a schedule, roster, or any team events listed on its website. The site’s most recent update was July 10 of last year, an announcement about the 2025-26 season cancellation. Requests for additional information about the hockey team have gone unanswered.
This delay in the start of the men’s hockey team comes three years after the team’s inception was announced at Bridgestone Arena ahead of the 2023 NHL Draft. The Nashville Predators and NHL were instrumental in bringing a team to Tennessee State, and a representative with the Predators confirmed that support is ongoing.
While the 2025-26 cancellation followed unrest about the school’s financial situation, it’s unclear if this year’s cancellation is for the same reason or if its related to the school’s recent turmoil in the athletic department.
In May, six coaches gave a vote of no confidence for Tennessee State’s athletic director Mikki Allen. A letter to Dwayne Tucker on May 29 expressed concern about the “current direction, leadership, communication, and operational management of the athletic department” under Allen.
Men’s hockey coach Duante Abercrombie was not among the six coaches mentioned in the letter.
