Tennessee QB Target Ty Snell Transfers to IMG Academy for Next Step in Development

The Tennessee Volunteers have been thriving on the recruiting trail, particularly at the quarterback position. Among their promising young targets is Ty Snell, a standout underclassman who is making a significant move early in his high school career.

Snell served as the starting quarterback for Lipscomb Academy in Tennessee as just an eighth grader—a rare feat that highlights his advanced skill and potential. Lipscomb Academy has a strong football pedigree, having produced notable talents like Kaleb Beasley and Edwin Spillman, the latter currently playing for the Volunteers.

Now, ahead of his freshman year, Snell is set to transfer to powerhouse IMG Academy in Florida. Known for its elite athletic programs and national reputation, IMG will offer Snell a major step up in competition. The move is expected to challenge him and further accelerate his development.

Though still young, Snell is considered one of the top quarterback prospects in his class. He will likely compete for playing time at IMG, but his talent and early experience suggest he’ll be a key contributor on one of the nation’s most competitive high school teams.
