The Future is Orange: Vols Lock In 2025 Freshman Trio as Henderson, Evans, and Brown Pledge to Bring the Heat to Rocky Top
The Tennessee Volunteers have secured a significant boost for their future with the commitment of three highly touted recruits for the 2025 season. Wide receiver Marcus Henderson, running back Eli Evans, and linebacker Blake Brown have all pledged to join the Vols, signaling a promising future for head coach Josh Heupel’s program.
Henderson, a standout from Atlanta, Georgia, is widely regarded as one of the top wide receivers in the 2025 class. Known for his explosive speed and precise route running, Henderson is expected to be a game-changer in the Volunteers’ high-powered offense. His commitment to Rocky Top is seen as a big win for the Vols as they look to bolster their already impressive receiving corps.
Evans, a dynamic running back from Memphis, Tennessee, is another key addition. Standing out for his combination of vision, power, and agility, Evans has been drawing attention from some of the top programs in the nation. His decision to stay in-state and play for Tennessee is a huge coup, as he’s expected to play a key role in the Vols’ run game for years to come.
Perhaps one of the most exciting additions is linebacker Blake Brown, a ferocious defender from Knoxville, Tennessee. Brown is known for his high motor, physicality, and leadership on the field. His commitment adds to an already strong defensive unit, and he will look to bring that same intensity to Rocky Top when he suits up for the Vols.
This trio’s decision to play for Tennessee is another indication of the rising momentum behind the program under Heupel. As the Volunteers continue to build on their success in recruiting, Henderson, Evans, and Brown will undoubtedly be crucial pieces to Tennessee’s bright future. With this commitment, the future at Rocky Top is most certainly orange.
