Tennessee is building momentum after a solid Year 1 under Josh Heupel. That success is leading to more success on the recruiting trails.

On Monday, the Vols landed a commitment from a 3-star in-state offensive lineman for their 2023 class.

As you can see below, Ayden Bussell — a native of Mount Juliet, Tennessee — took to Twitter to announce his pledge to Heupel and the Volunteers:

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Bussell is the No. 38 offensive tackle in the class of 2023 and the No. 20 overall recruit from the state of Tennessee.

The Vols now have 3 players in their 2023 class, which currently ranks No. 20 in the nation and No. 5 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
