Tennessee Locks In Key 2027 RB | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee football just pulled off a major recruiting win as three-star running back Asa Barnes from Martin, Tennessee, committed to the Vols for the 2027 class—choosing them over Arkansas, Florida State, and USC. Standing at 5’11” and 200 lbs, Barnes is a top-tier RB prospect who received his first offer from Florida State in January 2025, but Tennessee’s consistent presence on campus—including multiple visits and strong relationship-building—sealed the deal. His in-state roots make this commitment even sweeter for the program, adding depth to a growing 2027 class already boasting 19 commitments. This early win underscores Tennessee’s momentum as they build a future-ready roster. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
