Tennessee basketball has picked up another commitment in the 2025 recruiting class.

Fresh off of earning a spot in the Sweet 16 for the third-straight year, the Vols have landed Troy Henderson, a guard out of Richmond, Virginia.

Henderson decommitted from Fordham on March 21 following the firing of coach Keith Urgo.

Henderson stands at 6-foot-1, 180 pounds and plays point guard for John Marshall. He has already earned two Virginia Class 1 Player of the Year awards heading into his senior year. He transferred from Lancaster to his new school for his final year.

With his season still underway, Henderson leads the team in assists with six per game. John Marshall is 25-2 at the moment. He is averaging 13.7 points, six assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per outing.

He took a visit to see the Vols after the Round of 32 win over UCLA and before Tennessee hit the road to play in the Sweet 16.

Henderson joins a pair of other Tennessee commits in the 2025 cycle. Big man DeWayne Brown II was the first to commit out of Hoover, Alabama. He is a three-star prospect standing at 6-foot-9.

Then, defensive wing Amari Evans picked the Vols. He was a Defensive Player of the Year in the Overtime Elite league and is a four-star and No. 80 player in the class of 2025.

Tennessee will lose guards Zakai Zeigler, Jordan Gainey and Chaz Lanier due to lack of eligibility following this season and will need to rebuild its room of guards.
