In-State Four-Star LB Edwin Spillman: A 230-Lb Freshman Force with Elite Instincts for Tennessee
Edwin Spillman, a 6'1", 230-lb freshman linebacker from Nashville, TN, is Tennessee’s top-ranked in-state recruit (No. 2 LB in the 2024 class per On3) and a four-star prospect who chose the Vols over Ohio State. His differentiators include elite tackling intensity, natural interception instincts (already recorded an interception as a freshman), and a high-energy personality that mirrors his brother Nate’s success at Tennessee. As an active, injury-free player with strong local roots and a No. 300 overall national ranking, Spillman offers immediate defensive depth and long-term upside. He’s a high-fit addition for any team needing a physical, instinctive linebacker who plays with relentless fire and already shows playmaking versatility beyond traditional LB duties.
