Tennessee football has landed inside the top five for an offensive line target.

The Vols have been hard after three-star tackle Edward Baker, and it's starting to pay off.

He listed Tennessee along with Ole Miss, NC State, Virginia and Arkansas as his finalists.

Baker spoke with Rivals recruiting analyst Ryan O'Bleness to break down his finalists, including the Vols.

"They're one of my dream schools," Baker said. "I went to the game against Alabama and it was amazing — great atmosphere. great fans, felt like home the whole time. It's definitely somewhere I can see myself playing. I have great relationships with the whole offensive staff and a little on the defense. It's only gonna get better from here. Recently, I went on an OV up there two weeks ago and it was amazing. (Offensive line) Coach (Glen) Elarbee knows how to develop linemen, and he also knows how to recruit and find guys no matter what their rank is — if you can ball, he finds you. But other than that, the energy around the program is real. Playing in the SEC with top facilities just adds to the opportunity."

This also comes just about a week after he took an official visit to Knoxville. He met with VolReport afterward to give his thoughts.

"Tennessee is one of the top programs in the college football world, so with having them interested in me, it's amazing," Baker said. "It boosts them up. They were already at the top, but it boosts them up even more."
