Tennessee football has just secured a major commitment with the addition of Onis Konanbanny, a highly-rated 4-star cornerback from Heathwood Hall Episcopal School in Columbia, South Carolina. Konanbanny’s decision to join the Volunteers marks a significant boost to the program’s defense and secondary, as he is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the 2024 recruiting class.
At 6’0″ and 180 pounds, Konanbanny brings a strong blend of size, athleticism, and playmaking ability to the field. His ability to cover receivers, react quickly to the ball, and excel in one-on-one matchups make him a standout. During his high school career, he earned praise for his fluid movement, great ball skills, and tenacious coverage, often shutting down top wideouts in the competitive South Carolina high school circuit. His versatility also allows him to contribute as a force in both man and zone schemes, a quality that will be valuable in Tennessee’s defensive system.
Konanbanny’s commitment is a testament to the momentum building around Tennessee football. Head coach Josh Heupel and his staff continue to attract top-tier talent to Knoxville, and Konanbanny is a perfect fit for the team’s vision. With the Vols looking to improve their defensive capabilities and compete at the highest level of college football, Konanbanny’s ability to lock down opposing wide receivers will play a pivotal role in the future success of the defense.
The Tennessee fanbase is eager to see Konanbanny develop under the coaching staff and make an immediate impact when he steps onto the field at Neyland Stadium. As the Vols’ defensive backfield continues to take shape, Konanbanny’s addition is one that should excite fans for years to come. Welcome to the Tennessee Vols, Onis!
