Tennessee picked up a new commitment late Wednesday night from class of 2015 Nashville (Hillsboro) athlete Vincent Perry.
“Officially a Vol!!!!,” he tweeted.
Listed at 5-10, 175 pounds, Perry is rated three stars and the No. 19 player in the state of Tennessee by Rivals.com.
Even though the Vols are 2-3 this season, Perry can see that brighter days are ahead.
“Just the fans and really the atmosphere at Tennessee were a big deal,” Perry told Rivals.com. “I think it shows change when at Georgia and against Florida that they just had some little mistakes and I can tell that in the future they will be winning against schools like that.”
Football isn’t his only talent, however. Perry plans to play baseball for Tennessee coach Dave Serrano. According to reports, Perry could also be selected in the top 15 rounds of June’s MLB Draft.
With the addition of Perry, the Vols now have a total of 25 commits in the 2015 class.
