'25 TX TE Jack Van Dorselaer (Tennessee commit)

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Dorselaer? If this guy isn't doing a shark celebration after every big play then he is terrible at marketing.

 

[MiramarVol]

"With that catch Dorsalaer breaks the all time receiving record for TE's for the Vols."

Looks pretty quick

Tennessee Tight End Commit Jack Van Dorselaer left earlier with George MacIntyre to go see some more of the city. These two have clearly hit it off. Van Dorselaer enjoyed being back around campus today and loved what he saw from practice. He plans to return to campus in April for the spring game and will take his official visit in June.

This is our TE, and we snatched him right out of TX. We have been doing very nicely in TX the last couple of recruiting cycles.

2025 Tennessee Tight End Commitment Jack Van Dorselaer dropped out of the On300 Rankings. Van Dorselaer was previously rated as the No.285 overall prospect.

On3 knocked him down to a three star.

On3 knocked him down to a three star.

Did the player suddenly get worse? I am sure that some of this is that players don't pan out like was originally though, but when a player loses a star rating it is really a knock on the recruiting services for having not rated them properly to start with. Either they should never have been a 4 star to begin with, or the recruiting service is giving arbitrary ratings based on some other criteria besides the players performance/ability. (ie camping at the "correct" camps)

... the recruiting services were slipped a li'l somethin to rate some other guys higher.

So, who went up, past this kid, and to whom are they committed? That should tell ya all ya need to know.

Jack Van Dorselaer was supposed to come in but made the decision last week to stay home and come for an extra game this fall instead of just a recruiting weekend in July.

I hope he's on board with us flipping the Oregon commit. TE room will need the players and I think he would be a great piece of the offense.

I think he is more of a blocking TE based on his usage in his HS offense. Brahme is more of a Brock Bowers.

Don't worry they will knock him down to a 3* as soon as he commits to us

He's been one of the biggest recruiters of Brame as far as peer recruiting goes.

Jack is likely going to take some visits. TN doesn’t want to lose him and they will love him up pretty good. Heupel and Abeln really like him a lot. TN was only taking one but when they moved Okoye that changed…

*** A big (literally) SEC commit was on campus for an unofficial visit. Southlake Carroll (Tex.) four-star tight end and Tennessee commit Jack Van Dorselaear took in practice with his family. The According to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, he’s the No. 315 overall prospect in the country and 19th-best tight end in the nation. He committed to the Volunteers in January.

Why cant we keep what we have and add more?

Why cant we keep what we have and add more?

I don’t think the 105 scholly limit goes into effect till 2025-2026 school year, correct me if wrong? So technically we are still working within a limit this year at 82-83 so they might want to use that scholarship for another position knowing we have Okoye there now.

Seemed like the last sentence gave it away but it’s hard to decipher what AP is saying half the time he writes so who knows
