Top Recruiting Story of the Year: Best Henry, 5-Star QB, Shocks the Nation with Commitment to Tennessee Vols Football
In a stunning turn of events, 5-star quarterback prospect Best Henry has committed to the University of Tennessee, sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting world. The highly-touted QB, who was considered a top target for some of the nation’s elite programs, made the announcement late Monday evening, cementing Tennessee’s place among the country’s premier football programs for the next several years.
Henry, who had been courted by powerhouses such as Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State, surprised many with his decision to choose the Volunteers. Known for his cannon arm, precision passing, and leadership on the field, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound signal caller had long been one of the most sought-after recruits in the 2025 class. His commitment comes as a major win for Tennessee’s head coach Josh Heupel, who has quickly built a competitive program in the SEC.
In his announcement, Henry expressed a deep connection to the Vols’ coaching staff, the fanbase, and the tradition of the program. “Tennessee just felt like home,” Henry said. “From the first time I visited, I knew this was where I was supposed to be. I believe in Coach Heupel’s vision, and I’m excited to help build something special here.”
Henry’s commitment also signifies a significant boost for Tennessee’s recruiting efforts. With his commitment, the Vols now have one of the top classes in the nation for 2025, with several other elite prospects eyeing Tennessee as a destination. Experts believe Henry’s decision will help propel the Vols into serious contention in the SEC for years to come.
This commitment has shaken up the recruiting landscape and could have far-reaching implications for the college football scene as the 2025 season approaches.
