The Tennessee Vols will receive an official visit this summer from 2025 four-star defensive lineman Jaylen Williams. 

According to 247Sports, Williams will visit Tennessee on June 15. It will be his third visit to Tennessee. Williams will also take an official visit to Nebraska this summer. 

Williams, 6-foot-6/265 lbs from Palatine, IL, is rated by 247Sports as the No. 16 defensive lineman in the nation and the No. 4 player in the state of Illinois. 

Interestingly, Alabama wanted to get Williams on campus last November, but they weren't able to because he visited Tennessee instead. 

"I’m planning on taking a visit to Bama sometime soon…I was trying to get up there in November, but I couldn’t because I had a Tennessee visit," said Williams to 247Sports in early January. "I’m planning on that, though."

Williams was initially planning to commit in January, but he pushed his decision date back so he could fit in some official visits before making his final choice. 

Tennessee currently has six players committed to its 2025 recruiting class.
