2025 three-star North Mecklenburg (NC.) defensive lineman Charles House has committed to Tennessee over Alabama and Georgia.

Rodney Garner was the primary recruiter and the respect that the 6-foot-3, 285-pounder has is undeniable.
"My thoughts on Coach Garner was just that he was a great coach overall and he works with his players and lets them know what they did wrong and how to not make the same mistake twice," House previously told Rivals.
The state of North Carolina product was in Knoxville last weekend for his official visit and by reports it seemed to go very well, and is probably what pushed the Vols back in the driver seat.

"The coaches treat you like you're supposed to and I can absolutely see myself fitting into the schemes and the brotherhood at Tennessee," House said. “Ever since day one of stepping on campus, they just made it feel like this is somewhere that I would excel in life and in football."
The Vols now have thirteen commitments on the board for the 2025 cycle and adding some nice depth to the defensive tackle room.
Josh Heupel and the Vols may not be done, as the Rivals No. 4 tight end 2025 four-star Derby (Ks.) Dasaahn Brame is set to announce his decision on July 29, and the Vols may be deeper involved than many think for what was at one time for sure Oregon bound prospect.
