Butch Jones has taken another from Larry Fedora’s backyard.

Tennessee secured its first commitment for the 2017 class on Sunday after four-star defensive end D.T. Riley (Durham, N.C.) announced he’s planning on wearing orange in a couple years.

”I just love the fire that the coaching staff has — just how excited they are about things,” Riley told Scout. “I feel like they’re going to help me better myself not only as a football player, but as a man. I have a close relationship with (defensive line) coach (Steve) Stripling. He communicates very well and I see myself developing with him as my defensive line coach.”

Riley visited Tennessee’s campus last week which was more than enough to convince the 6-foot-5, 295-pounder where he wanted to be heading into his junior prep season this fall.

The Vols offered Riley on June 9. He was thought to be a North Carolina lean, per 247Sports’ Crystal Ball, before Tennessee came calling.
