"I chose the University of Tennessee because I felt welcomed from the very beginning. The freshman class reached out and made me feel a part of the family right away. Most importantly, I love their style of play and the freedom it gives me on the court. This program has an amazing legacy, and I cannot wait to be a part of it."
"She has arguably the most upside among the top three players in the 2026 class -- No. 1 Saniyah Hall (USC) and No. 3 Olivia Vukosa (uncommitted) -- and can guard almost any position on the floor. She's also capable of feats like dunking in the middle of a game after slicing through a passing lane on defense, and her immense talent creates a high standard."
Oliviyah Edwards, a 6-foot-3 forward from Washington and the No. 2 player in the 2026 SC Next 100 class, committed to Tennessee under coach Kim Caldwell, choosing the Lady Volunteers over USC, South Carolina, LSU, Florida and Washington. Edwards averaged 17 points and 7.8 rebounds on 63.5% shooting for the Northwest Greyhounds and helped the team reach the adidas 3SSB circuit Final Four. She can guard multiple positions, possesses high upside among top prospects, and can make athletic plays like dunks off defensive rotations. Edwards is Tennessee's first 2026 commitment and the program's highest-rated recruit since 2019, marking a recruiting milestone for Caldwell as the staff continues to pursue other top targets for 2026.
