An elite 2025 offensive tackle is set to visit the Tennessee Vols in the coming weeks. 

According to 247Sports, four-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola will visit Tennessee on February 3. He also has visits planned to Kansas and either Oklahoma or Arkansas. 

Babalola, 6-foot-6/275 lbs from Overland Park, KS, is rated by 247Sports as the No. 3 offensive tackle in the nation and the No. 1 player in the state of Kansas. He's also rated as the No. 20 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class, which means he will likely be elevated to five-star status at some point later this year. 

The talented offensive lineman also holds offers from Auburn, Florida, Miami, Michigan, Ole Miss, and Penn State, along several others. 

Scouting report via 247Sports: A fairly nimble, balanced athlete in space who can improve body control when engaged. Field demeanor leans toward the run game, but physical tools suggest elite pass-pro potential. Likely needs time to develop physically and technically in college, but appears to be one of the 2025 class' highest-ceiling offensive tackle prospects. Projects as an eventual quality high-major starter with physical and athletic profiles that suggest NFL Draft early-round upside.

Tennessee currently has five players committed to their 2025 recruiting class. The Vols don't have a 2025 offensive lineman committed yet.
