Tennessee has done a good job in the 2024 and 2025 classes so far, as they have added some great players who could all see some serious play time at the next level. Multiple guys will attempt to recruit other guys to the school they are going to simply based on the fact that they want to play together. Some of the commits took the time to express who they wanted and why they wanted them to Volunteer Country recently. Read on.

Bennett Warren: “JORDAN FREAKING SEATON! 2024 OT” If Jordan shows up, I believe that class is finished. I would love to play with him because he is such a great player!”

Jake Merklinger, 2024 QB: “Jordan Seaton, he is a great player, and I think Tennessee is the best place to be.” Jordan Burns, 2024 LB: “I’d love to add Jordan Seaton. I just want good players to help us win.” Peyton Lewis, 2024 RB: “George MacIntyre. Highly ranked recruit that i see a lot at the games. So i try my best to get myself and other commits to keep Tennessee as a possible commit option for George.” Jeremias Heard, 2024 DL: “Jordan Seaton, It would be great to go up and practice against one of the best offensive linemen to get ready for the season. I feel like it would benefit both of us.” Jesse Perry, 2024 OL: “Probably Jordan Seaton or Jaren Sensabaugh because Jordan is a great o-line target, and Jaren is an in-state target left on the board.” Dylan Lewis, 2025 CB: “I’m trying to get Ethan Utley. We played youth football together and built a strong relationship. That’s like a brother to me, and I need him at Rocky Top!” Shamar Arnoux, 2025 CB “Definitely Jontae Gilbert!” Tyler Redmond, 2025 CB: “Ethan Utley, for sure. Let’s become teammates again. That was my pitch because I already played with him in Little League, so why not do it again?” Justin Baker, 2025 RB: “Definitely Devin Williams because of how versatile he is on both sides of the ball, lockdown corner, and he’s electric at WR, especially with the ball in his hands. If not him, then AJ Holloway, who’s a hard-nosed LB who can stop the run and cover really well.
