Tennessee Football Beats Alabama and Georgia for Four-Star DL!
Tennessee football scores a significant victory on the recruiting trail, securing the commitment of four-star defensive lineman Charles House. This decision marks a win over major conference rivals including Alabama, Auburn, Florida, and Georgia.
House, hailing from Huntersville, North Carolina, announced his commitment to the Vols via X/Twitter on Saturday, expressing his excitement with the message, “I’m home Good Ol Rocky Top.”
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 300 pounds, House is a prominent member of the 2025 recruiting class. He is ranked as the 64th defensive lineman in his class according to 247Sports Composite and 24th by On3 Sports.
House visited Tennessee’s Rocky Top on June 14 and made his commitment to the Vols a week later. Prior to this, he also visited Athens on June 7 and Tuscaloosa on May 31.
After exploring three of the top SEC programs over the past month, House stated that Tennessee felt the most like home. His strong relationship with the coaching staff was a key factor in his decision to choose the Vols over Georgia and Alabama.
“I chose Tennessee because of my relationship with the staff and the coaches,” House told On3 Sports. “It felt like home. I can see myself excelling there, and they can develop me really well.”
“I wanted to go somewhere where I am going to fit in,” added House, the No. 284 overall prospect and No. 24 defensive lineman in the 2025 On300. “At Tennessee, it felt like it was that right fit.”
This commitment is a substantial win for head coach Josh Heupel and the Tennessee football program. Known for their up-tempo, high-powered offense, Heupel and his coaching staff have been prioritizing top defensive talent in recent recruiting cycles.
House becomes the sixth defensive player in Tennessee’s 2025 class, bringing their total commitments to 13 as they head into July. Leading this class is four-star quarterback George MacIntyre from Nashville, Tennessee, with commitments continuing to grow for the Vols.
Other notable commits in the 2025 class include four-star defensive lineman Ethan Outlay, four-star wide receiver Radarious Jackson, four-star tight end Jack Van Dorselaer, and four-star edge Jayden Loftin.
