Edwin Spillman Officially Arrives in Knoxville

Tennessee Volunteers inside linebacker Edwin Spillman has officially enrolled at the University of Tennessee and joined practices.

Lipscomb Academy linebacker Edwin Spillman was one of the Vols' top priorities in the 2024 signing period. Tennessee wanted to lock down its state borders, and national powers called after him. However, he signed his national letter of intent with Tennessee and is now officially on campus after finishing his high school career. 

Many made a big deal about the off-field connections between Tennessee and Spillman. He chose Tennessee because Spillman, the player, fits Tennessee just as well as Spillman, the person, does. He has put together four years of elite high school tape, and Tennessee has come away with a really strong player.

Tennessee invested a lot of energy in his recruitment from the beginning, and it's paid off. Spillman will walk into Knoxville, Tennessee, fresh off a productive four-year stint with the top program in the state. He's an SEC-level linebacker who could see time early in his career, possibly in an extended role by the 2025 season, depending on physical development.
