Tennessee Secures Flip of 2027 Recruit Dayon Cooper From Florida State

Tennessee’s promise of immediate playing time at wide receiver persuaded Cooper to end his recruitment.

Overview

  • Cooper decommitted from Florida State on Sunday after an official visit to Tennessee, posting the decision on his social account.
  • He committed to the Volunteers on Monday and announced he was shutting down his recruitment.
  • Cooper said Tennessee offered him a chance to play wide receiver and have an early offensive impact, which he cited as the key reason for the switch.
  • The 6-foot, 180-pound South Pittsburg product is a three-star recruit with a listed 4.5-second 40-yard time and more than 1,200 yards and 17 touchdowns last season.
  • The pledge would be Tennessee’s 16th for the 2027 cycle and adds to the Vols’ recent recruiting momentum while deepening turnover concerns for Florida State’s class.
