In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, five-star wide receiver Jayden Mitchell has committed to the University of Tennessee, spurning offers from major SEC powerhouses, including Florida and Georgia. The dynamic playmaker announced his decision via a live stream on social media, donning a Vols cap to the surprise of fans and analysts alike.
Mitchell, ranked among the top receivers in the 2025 class, had long been considered a Florida lean. However, Tennessee’s aggressive recruiting efforts, led by head coach Josh Heupel and wide receivers coach Kelsey Pope, ultimately swayed the elite prospect. Sources close to the recruitment say the Vols’ up-tempo offense and proven ability to develop NFL-ready talent played a key role in Mitchell’s decision.
“This is where I feel most at home,” Mitchell said during his announcement. “I believe in the vision at Tennessee, and I want to be a part of something special.”
The commitment is a major victory for the Volunteers, who continue to stack talent and build momentum on the recruiting trail. For SEC rivals, especially Florida, Mitchell’s choice is a significant loss and a clear sign that Tennessee is rising fast.
