Jack VanDorselaer Breaks Down His Tennessee Commitment

2025 four-star tight end Jack VanDorselaer (Southlake, Tex.) committed to the Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday morning and broke down his decision with Volunteer Country.

Tennessee received another commitment from the 2025 class on Sunday afternoon. This time, it's from tight end Jack VanDorselaer. VanDorselaer hails from Southlake Carroll High School in Southlake, Texas. He is a current four-star prospect at around 6-4 and 225 pounds. He committed to the Volunteers over TCU, Michigan, Oregon, Baylor, Alabama, USC, Texas, and Miami. 

VanDorselaer was offered by Tennessee back in January 2023 after an unofficial visit. He later visited Tennessee again in September, his most recent visit. He ranks as the No. 11 tight end in the 2025, according to 247Sports' Composite Rankings. He took the time to break down his commitment to Tennessee with Volunteer Country.

He was asked what made him want to commit to Tennessee. The tight end stated, "The town of Knoxville really felt like home, along with the coaching staff and coach Heupel. I truly feel like the coaches are great men who have my back, and with that, I really would love to work with them. Also, you can't beat SEC football in east Tennessee." He then talks about his relationships with the staff by saying, "I have a strong relationship with Coach [Alec] Abeln and Coach [Josh] Heupel. I feel like we can work really well together. Also, the strong relationship makes it really easy to go to work for them and the university." 

He also talks about who he would love to bring to Rocky Top. "I would love a quarterback to come with me. I know there are a couple of really sought-after quarterbacks that are interested in Tennessee, but they have to make whatever choice is best for them, but with saying that Tennessee is a great place, it's hard to say no to." The four-star states. VanDorselaer gave us a final statement: "I've really thought about this whole process and did my homework on every school, and I'm confident that Tennessee is the best fit for me. I'm really bought into being a Vol and doing everything in my power to win games for this program."
