I might not return the head coach of Tennessee Josh Heupel say to..

Ethan Utley has visited Tennessee more than a half-dozen times over the past

few years, and he has found plenty of reasons to be excited about the possibility of staying in-state and playing for the Vols. In the end, he decided it simply didn’t make sense for him to go anywhere else.

The four-star Class of 2025 defensive lineman from Ensworth School in Nashville, Tenn., announced Thursday night that he has committed to

Tennessee. He celebrated his 17th birthday by choosing the home-state Vols over Texas, giving Tennessee another early commitment from one of its top in-state targets.
