Tennessee secured a major commitment—literally and figuratively—during Saturday’s Navy All-American Bowl, as offensive lineman Gabriel Osenda announced his decision to head to Rocky Top during the broadcast.
Osenda, a 6-foot-7 tackle, is ranked as the No. 21 overall offensive tackle in the 2026 class, according to Rivals. He also held offers from Ole Miss, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia but chose the Vols after his visit to Knoxville.
He’s the second commitment for Tennessee from The Baylor School in the past week, joining former Alabama wide receiver Amari Jefferson, who transferred to the Vols from the portal on Wednesday. Tennessee now holds the No. 3 overall class in the 2026 team composite rankings, according to On3.
