2025 four-star linebacker Christian Gass (Covington, Ga.) has committed to the Tennessee Volunteers.

The Tennessee Volunteers stayed hot on the recruiting trail on Saturday afternoon. Eastside High School linebacker Christian Gass pledged his services to the Vols over Georgia and USC, a major recruiting win for a defensive staff that has prioritized the front-seven in this class.

Gass ranks as the No. 225 prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. On3's Chad Simmons sat down with Gass to break down each of his top schools, and Gass raved about the Volunteers.

"My big thing was they have real, genuine love, too. Coach [Mike Ekeler], he’s definitely an energy guy," Gass told Simmons. "He’s big on energy and told me each and every day that I was a priority and I was important to him, not only as a player but as a person. He really just sits there and watches everything I do and that’s big for me. Going up there and watching film, knowing I can go through their schemes and that I can really understand that, that’s a big thing for me."
