Four-star cornerback Onis Konanbanny committed to Tennessee football over Florida State and other contenders on Friday afternoon.
Landing the 6-foot-1, 180-pound cornerback keeps Tennessee football red hot on the recruiting trail. The Vols have landed 15 total commits including 13 in the 2025 recruiting cycle since the start of the summer. August has particularly been good to Tennessee with Konanbanny representing the fifth commitment of the month.
Konanbanny ranks as a four-star recruit and the No. 302 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. Playing his high school football at Columbia’s Heathwood Hall Episcopal School, Konanbanny ranks as the No. 4 player in the state of South Carolina and the No. 28 cornerback nationally in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
While Konanbanny is a low four-star recruit, he is also relatively new to the game of football. He was born in France and spent most his life playing soccer in both France and England before moving to the United States in 2020. The blue-chip recruit also runs track at the prep level.
Konanbanny took official visits to Florida State, LSU, North Carolina, Tennessee and Utah earlier in the summer before cutting his list down to just the Seminoles and Vols back in July when he announced his August commitment date. Tennessee was able to land his services but frequently getting him on campus, five times total, including three different times this calendar year.
Tennessee football’s 2025 recruiting class now contains 24 commits including from four cornerbacks and Konanbanny is the highest rated of the group. Three-stars Tre Poteat, Dylan Lewis and Tyler Redmond are the Vols other cornerback commits. Heupel and his staff also landed commitments from four-star safety Lagonza Hayward and three-star safety Sidney Walton.
Tennessee’s recruiting class remains ranked at No. 6 nationally and No. 5 in the SEC according to the 247sports team rankings.
