It's been quite a weekend for the Tennessee Vols football program. 

On Saturday, the Vols landed a commitment from 2025 five-star offensive lineman David Sanders Jr, one of the most highly-coveted recruits in the nation. 

Tennessee kept the good recruiting vibes going on Sunday by flipping 2025 four-star linebacker Jaedon Harmon from the Alabama Crimson Tide. 

Harmon had been committed to Alabama since April before flipping his commitment to Tennessee on Sunday. 

"I want to thank the entire Alabama staff for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play for a great, great program," wrote Harmon in a tweet. 

Harmon, 6-foot-1/215 lbs from Rome, GA, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 18 linebacker in the nation and the No. 19 player in the state of Georgia. 

"Harmon is a downhill flowing linebacker with elite short area quickness verified in a combine setting which routinely manifests on tape as he's triggering to ball carriers or bending the arc to get after the passer," noted 247Sports National Scouting Analyst Hudson Standish earlier this year. 

"(Harmon is) one of the more instinctive run defenders in the Deep South in the 2025 recruiting cycle, and owns the athletic tools to make strides as a coverage defender," added Standish. 

Tennessee now has 23 players committed to its 2025 recruiting class. 

The Vols could be adding another commit later this week. 2025 four-star cornerback Onis Konanbanny is set to announce his commitment on August 23 and Tennessee is expected to be the pick.
