Tennessee football fans can breathe a sigh of relief as four-star linebacker Christian Gass has firmly shut down rumors about a potential flip to Georgia. In a recent statement, the highly-touted recruit reaffirmed his commitment to the Volunteers, saying, “I’m all in for the Vols!”
Speculation about Gass reconsidering his commitment arose after reports surfaced of renewed interest from Georgia’s coaching staff. The Bulldogs, known for their ability to secure top defensive talent, were allegedly making a late push to sway Gass away from Knoxville.
The chatter gained traction on social media, creating concerns among Tennessee fans about the possibility of losing one of their prized recruits for the 2025 class.
Addressing the rumors directly, Gass made it clear that his loyalty remains with Tennessee.
“I chose Tennessee because of the coaches, the culture, and the fans,” Gass said. “The relationships I’ve built here mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to play in Neyland Stadium. There’s no place I’d rather be.”
Gass, rated as one of the top linebackers in the nation, is seen as a cornerstone for the Volunteers’ future. Known for his explosive speed and playmaking ability, he is expected to bolster Tennessee’s defense as they continue their push to reclaim dominance in the SEC.
Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel has emphasized the importance of building a strong recruiting class, and keeping Gass on board is a major win for the program.
With Gass’s commitment firmly intact, Tennessee fans can look forward to seeing the talented linebacker suit up in orange and white. As for the rumors, Gass’s statement leaves no doubt about where his heart lies: “Tennessee is home.”
This reaffirmation not only solidifies the Vols’ 2025 recruiting class but also sends a strong message to other programs vying for Tennessee’s top commits—this team is building something special, and Christian Gass is ready to be a part of it.
