Tennessee Football: No. 1 2025 OL David Sanders Jr. Commits to Vols
Tennessee Football has made a major splash in recruiting with the
commitment of David Sanders Jr., the No. 1 ranked offensive lineman for the 2025 class.
Sanders, a towering 6-foot-6, 280-pound prospect from Charlotte, North Carolina, is widely considered one of the most elite high school players in the country, and his commitment gives the Vols a significant boost in their pursuit of top-tier talent.
Sanders, who had a long list of suitors including Alabama, Georgia, and Clemson, announced his decision on social media, sending shockwaves through the recruiting world.
His pledge to Tennessee comes as the Vols continue to build momentum under head coach Josh Heupel, who has revitalized the program with a high-octane offense and a focus on recruiting elite talent.
Known for his impressive combination of size, athleticism, and technique, Sanders is regarded as a potential future first-round NFL Draft pick.
His ability to dominate at both tackle positions and his exceptional footwork make him a coveted prospect. Throughout his recruitment, Sanders has drawn comparisons to some of the most successful offensive linemen in recent memory, and his arrival at Tennessee adds to the Vols’ growing reputation as a force in the trenches.
Sanders’ decision is also a reflection of Tennessee’s rapidly improving program. Under Heupel, the Vols have not only become a consistent contender in the SEC but have also seen a surge in recruiting success, particularly in offensive talent.
The Vols’ recent success on the field, including a standout season in 2022, helped the program build the kind of national appeal that Sanders ultimately bought into.
For Tennessee, landing a player of Sanders’ caliber is a clear sign that the Vols are building a foundation for long-term success.
With his commitment, Tennessee bolsters an already impressive 2025 class and continues to solidify its place as one of the top football programs in the nation.
As Sanders prepares to join the Vols in 2025, Tennessee fans are excited to see what the future holds for this towering prospect. His commitment is a key building block in what could be a transformative era for Tennessee Football.
