On Friday, Butch Jones and Tennessee picked up commitment number four on the week—and number 22 overall—with the addition of 2014 4-star Indiana wide receiver Dominique Booth.
“It feels good to announce and coach Jones is fired up,” Booth told IndyStar.com. “I feel comfortable with the offense (the Volunteers) run because it’s a lot like what we run at Pike.”
Booth, who measures 6-foot-1 and weighs 200 pounds, boasts a 4-star rating from each of the major recruiting services. He is considered the No. 2 overall prospect in the state according to ESPN and held offers from top programs such as Alabama, Texas A&M, Florida State, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin and others.

Recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong tweeted that Booth has been a silent commit to Tennessee for a month now.
“I wanted to be sure of my decision,” Booth said of the decision not to go public immediately.
As a bonus for the Vols, Booth plans to be an early enrollee. He hopes to graduate in December and enroll in January in order to take part in spring practice.
Last season, Booth totaled 856 yards and 11 touchdowns on 67 receptions.
With the addition of Booth, Tennessee currently has the top-rated class according to Rivals, Scout and 247sports.
Booth was recruited by Steve Stripling and Zack Azzanni.
