On Wednesday morning, Tennessee football kicked off the early signing period with commitments from two athletes, one of whom flipped from the TCU Horned Frogs. Then they secured a pickup at a position with great need, strongside defensive end.
Following those three pickups, they scored their best pickup of the day, another strongside defensive end, that afternoon. Local product Tyler Baron, as expected, announced his commitment to Rocky Top.
Baron, out of Knoxville Catholic High School in Knoxville, Tenn., was UT’s 22nd commitment, their fourth defensive lineman and their second defensive end of the class, both of whom committed that day.
