The Tennessee Vols are among the top schools for one of the top running backs in the nation.
2025 four-star running back Tory Blaylock included Tennessee among his top six schools this weekend, along with Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, and Alabama.
Blaylock, 5-foot-11/190 lbs from Atlanta, GA, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 17 running back in the nation and the No. 32 player in the state of Texas.
"Coach (Josh) Heupel is a great guy as well as a great coach and I feel the offensive schemes they run fit me very well," said Blaylock to On3 of his interest in the Vols.
Blaylock is the son of former NFL running back Derrick Blaylock, who spent six seasons in the NFL (with the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets). The elder Blaylock's most memorable moment in the NFL came on October 24, 2004 when he and Priest Holmes each recorded four rushing touchdowns in a 56-10 win against the Atlanta Falcons.
Tennessee currently has six players committed to its 2025 recruiting class, including three-star running back Justin Baker, the No. 43 overall running back in the nation.
