Tennessee added to its class of 2024 over the weekend, picking up a commitment from Carson Gentle out of Chattanooga. The 6-3, 241 pound defensive lineman grew up following the Volunteers, and pounced on an early offer from his home-state school. Both of Gentle’s parents went to Tennessee, and he’s now set to follow in their footsteps.
Gentle is the second commitment of Tennessee’s 2024 class, joining five-star athlete Jonathan Echols.
Tennessee offered Gentle a scholarship last summer, following a camp performance. Since then, he’s seen Knoxville several more times, including a visit for the Ole Miss game last season.
