2025 four-star offensive lineman Douglas Utu (Las Vegas, N.V.) officially visited the Tennessee Volunteers this past weekend.

Bishop Gorman High School offensive lineman Douglas Utu officially visited the Tennessee Volunteers this past weekend, making the long trek from California to see the Vols. Tennessee's coaching staff has spent much time ensuring the West Coast product feels comfortable in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Utu ranks as the No. 53 prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington were vying for his services at the beginning of the summer, and that list has continued to narrow throughout the official visit process. On3's Steve Wiltfong submitted an RPM prediction for Tennessee to land Utu's services after his official visit, putting the Vols in a public pole position.

Offensive line coach Glen Elarbee has invested time in several interior offensive linemen in the 2025 cycle, with Utu being chief among them. Rounding out his interior group with the Bishop Gorman product would help cement a strong class with several elite tackle names still on the board, including Providence Day School offensive tackle David Sanders Jr.
