Vol Football Adds to 2027 Recruiting Class With Tennessee State Champion Running Back Commit Asa BarnesTennessee Football added to its 2027 recruiting class on Wednesday evening with a commitment from in-state running back Asa Barnes from Westview High School in Martin, TN. Barnes is the Vols’ 19th commitment in the class, and his verbal pledge comes exactly one week after Tennessee landed fellow in-state running back David Gabriel Georges. Barnes is a player that Tennessee is high on and has had its eyes on for a while now. The Vols’ running back room should be able to thrive with Gabriel Georges and Barnes in the near future. Both are talented prospects who will be playing for their home state Vols in the coming years.
