One of the nation’s top offensive linemen in the 2025 class visited Tennessee for the first time Saturday to attend the Vols’ junior day.
Tennessee joined the race for Andrew Babalola in late September, and the Vols have impressed him enough since then to claim a spot among his top college choices. His first trip to Tennessee only further solidified the Vols’ standing near the top of his list.
The four-star Class of 2025 offensive tackle from Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park, Kan., just outside Kansas City, visited Tennessee for the first time Saturday to attend the Vols’ first junior day of the year. He said it turned out to be “a good experience,” and he didn’t hesitate to call Tennessee “one of my top schools” among the more than 30 programs pursuing him.
“The visit went great,” said Babalola, who’s ranked by 247Sports as the No. 21 overall prospect and No. 3 offensive tackle in the 2025 class and the No. 1 junior from the state of Kansas. “I didn’t really know what to expect, but the facilities, the staff, the campus — all of it was great.
