Tennessee’s 2025 signing class just got bigger. Real big.
The Vols picked up offensive lineman Nic Moore on Thursday morning when the four-star prospect announced his decision via social media. Moore is already slated to play center in college.
Moore, who is a strong academic student, was primarily considering Vanderbilt, West Virginia and Tennessee before the Commodores were recently crossed of the list. Moore is listed as the No. 10 prospect in Tennessee, the No. 20 interior offensive lineman in the nation and the No. 337 overall prospect in the country.
Moore, who is from Jefferson County High School in Dandridge, Tenn., visited Tennessee last weekend as part of a massive group of official visitors that were on campus throughout the summer event held to showcase the Vols’ program. Per a person close to his recruiting, Tennessee made up a “ton” of ground.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound offensive lineman has been tutored well. The four-star prospect has been mentored by Jefferson County head coach Spencer Riley, who was the Vols’ starting center on the 1998 National Championship team.
“Tennessee is getting an all-around person,” Riley told Off The Hook Sports. “ He’s a big, strong, physical kid that is super smart on and off the field. I love his physicality and work ethic.”
Tennessee currently has 11 commitments for the 2025 class, which ranks No. 23 in the nation.
Snap Decision: Tennessee was busy Tuesday morning, picking up two commitments before many fans had even put up the breakfast plates.
The Vols latest commitment was from John Rosen, a likely preferred walk-on who will hand long snapping for the Vols.
First off I want to thank God for all the many blessings he’s giving me. And thank everyone that has helped me along the way in my journey of football. I want to additionally thank the coaching staff at UT for seeing something in me and extending an opportunity to be a VOL. pic.twitter.com/QTPxsSHUYw
