The Tennessee Vols are among the top schools for a 2025 four-star safety from Florida. 

Keon Young revealed to On3 on Thursday that Tennessee, along with Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan State, Missouri, Oregon, South Florida, Texas A&M, and West Virginia, are his top 10 schools. 

Young, 6-foot/171 lbs from Lakeland, FL, is rated by 247Sports as the No. 19 safety in the nation and the No. 27 player in the state of Florida. 

The talented defensive back told On3 that he doesn't plan to commit until "closer to December", so there's still plenty of time left in this recruiting battle.

Young was actually committed to USF, where former Vols offensive coordinator Alex Golesh is the head coach, at one point last August. But he decommitted from USF just three weeks after committing.
