Josh Heupel’s Tennessee staff has some notable momentum on the recruiting trail right now. Harmon’s commitment comes a day after 5-star offensive tackle David Sanders Jr. picked the Volunteers over Georgia, Ohio State and others.
With Harmon on board, UT is up to 23 verbal commitments for 2025. The class is ranked No. 6 nationally on the Composite, and No. 5 in the SEC. Fans can get a preview of what Harmon brings to Rocky Top by checking out highlights from his junior season in the Hudl video below:
