Four-Star RB Duane Morris Commits to Tennessee Vols Football
In a major boost for the Tennessee Volunteers football program, four-star running back Duane Morris has officially committed to play for the Vols. Morris, a highly touted recruit from the state of Georgia, made the announcement on January 3, 2025, solidifying Tennessee’s growing reputation in the college football recruiting world.
Morris, a standout at his high school in Atlanta, is widely regarded as one of the top running backs in the nation. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound athlete possesses an explosive combination of speed, power, and agility, making him a versatile threat on the field. Throughout his high school career, Morris has showcased his ability to break tackles and make defenders miss, consistently putting up impressive yardage and touchdowns.
The Vols’ coaching staff, led by head coach Josh Heupel, has been steadily improving Tennessee’s recruiting efforts, and Morris’s commitment marks another big win for the program. Tennessee’s offense, which has been known for its high-tempo attack and big-play ability under Heupel, will benefit greatly from having a dynamic back like Morris. His ability to complement the passing game with his hard-running style will make the Vols’ offensive scheme even more dangerous.
Morris’s commitment also adds to the momentum that Tennessee has built in recent years. After a successful 2024 season, where the Vols made significant strides in the SEC, the addition of Morris will help solidify their future prospects. The Vols now have a key piece for their backfield, one that could play a pivotal role in their pursuit of an SEC championship in the coming seasons.
The recruiting class for 2025 continues to take shape, and Morris’s decision to join the Vols adds to the growing optimism surrounding Tennessee football. Fans are excited about what the future holds, with Morris poised to make an immediate impact once he steps onto the field in Knoxville.
