Commit Alert: 2025 4-Star SF Amari Evans Chooses Tennessee Basketball
Tennessee basketball has received a major boost with the commitment of 2025 four-star small forward Amari Evans. The 6’7″ wing, known for his athleticism, versatility, and scoring ability, announced his decision to join Rick Barnes and the Volunteers, adding another dynamic piece to the program’s future.
Evans, a standout at Paul VI High School in Fairfax, Virginia, has long been regarded as one of the top recruits in his class. Ranked among the top 30 players nationally for 2025, he brings a well-rounded game to the table. Evans is a strong, physical forward with the ability to stretch the floor and score both inside and on the perimeter. His defensive instincts and length make him a formidable presence on that end as well, and his potential to guard multiple positions gives Tennessee added flexibility in its defensive schemes.
The commitment is a significant one for Tennessee, which has been building momentum on the recruiting trail under Barnes. Evans is the latest high-profile addition to what is shaping up to be a talented incoming class. His commitment comes on the heels of several key recruiting wins for the Vols in recent years, signaling that the program is not only recruiting well but also positioning itself for long-term success in the SEC and nationally.
For Tennessee, landing Evans represents a major win over several other high-profile programs that were vying for his services. As he continues to develop, Evans could be a cornerstone player for the Vols, helping them remain competitive in the SEC and make a push for NCAA Tournament success in the coming years. Fans in Knoxville are excited to see the dynamic forward bring his skills to Thompson-Boling Arena starting in 2025.
