The Tennessee Vols landed a commitment from an under-the-radar recruit on Tuesday night that could be a hidden gem for the program.
2025 three-star offensive lineman Antoni Kade Ogumoro announced his commitment to the Vols on Tuesday evening.
Ogumoro, 6-foot-4/320 lbs from Elgin, OK, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 9 player in the state of Oklahoma and the No. 30 interior offensive lineman in the nation.
The massive offensive lineman committed to Tennessee over Kansas State, North Carolina, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
Ogumoro is athletic for his size and he has plenty of upside to unlock as he just recently started playing football. He also just recently moved to the offensive side of the ball.
Scouting report via 247Sports: Unverified size but looks the part physically on tape. Big base with strong lower-body drive train that fuels run-game strength. Can get more consistent with punch, but flashes heavy hands. Pulls and climbs with encouraging functional athleticism. Can be a force playing forward to the second level. Gets hips involved when engaged and regularly overwhelms high school targets. Multi-sport athlete who's played basketball and gotten limited throws reps (shot put, discus). Also has gotten valuable two-way snaps. Can improve balance and body control. Sometimes plays out over his feet. Potentially provides roster flexibility thanks to tackle experience and mauler-type field demeanor that projects particularly well to guard. P4-caliber O-lineman with promising context in pads and desired multi-sport and two-way background who could possibly possess sneaky long-term upside.
Ogumoro was primarily a basketball player growing up. He didn't begin playing football until 2022, focusing on basketball until that point. That multi-sport experience should lead to Ogumoro being a versatile player at the next level. He mainly projects as an interior offensive lineman, but he could likely play every position along the offensive line at the next level if needed.
Tennessee now has 10 players committed to its 2025 recruiting class, which is currently ranked No. 13 in the nation.
