Sean Dunlap Opts for Tennessee Over 2026 MLB Draft
Tennessee baseball recruit Sean Dunlap has decided to forgo the upcoming 2026 MLB Draft. The catcher has committed to playing for the Volunteers next season instead of entering the professional draft.
Sean Dunlap, a highly-touted catcher who had committed to the Tennessee Volunteers, will not be participating in the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft. Dunlap has officially withdrawn his name from consideration for the draft, signaling his intention to play college baseball.
His decision means he will instead join the Tennessee program for the next collegiate season. This move aligns with an ongoing tracker for former and future Volunteers involved in the MLB Draft process, with Dunlap now confirmed to be on the college path rather than turning professional immediately.
This is a significant win for Tennessee, securing a talented player who could have been a high draft pick.
