Salesi Moa, a highly versatile athlete from Utah, has officially joined Tennessee’s commitment list on Thursday, marking a significant addition to the Volunteers’ 2026 recruiting class. Moa’s multifaceted skill set allows him to excel on both offense and defense, making him an attractive prospect for the program as they look to bolster their roster.
Described by Cody Bellaire, a Rivals National Scout, as one of the most dynamic playmakers nationwide, Moa brings exceptional ball skills and movement patterns to the field. His capabilities as a wide receiver, alongside potential contributions in the secondary, underscore Tennessee’s interest in utilizing him on both sides of the ball. He possesses strong hands and a remarkable ability to secure the football, qualities that will serve him well regardless of his position.
On3 National recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong further emphasizes Moa’s prowess, noting his competitive nature and explosive athleticism. He believes Moa has the potential to become one of the standout players for Tennessee within just two years of joining the program.
As Tennessee continues to enhance its recruiting efforts, they are also in pursuit of LSU commit Tristen Keys. Adding Keys, who would rank as the highest received commitment for the Vols during Josh Heupel’s tenure, would further strengthen the team’s receiver class as they aim to capitalize on the momentum from Moa’s commitment. Currently, the Volunteers have three wide receivers committed, including Moa, alongside Tyreek King and Legend Bey, but are still looking to expand their roster, which only features seven scholarship receivers.
This strategic focus on acquiring talent in the receiving corps reflects Tennessee’s ambition to enhance its competitiveness in the coming years. Moa’s arrival signifies a positive development for the Volunteers, and with additional commitments likely on the horizon, fans have much to look forward to as the recruiting season unfolds.
