The Vols placed a premium on offensive line talent this recruiting cycle. Offensive line coach Glen Elarbee took a few big swings, including one on Texas offensive tackle Bennett Warren. Warren is the No. 146 prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and committed to Tennessee on July 31st, 2023. He was recently received his jersey for the Army All-American Bowl, which he will participate in to begin the New Year.

Warren solves an immediate need at tackle for Tennessee in 2024. The staff believes three-star commits Gage Ginther and Jesse Perry can develop into contributors in the future, but that likely won't be for a few seasons. Warren can walk onto campus next spring and physically compete with older, more mature defensive ends. He's 6-7.5 and 330 pounds as a rising high school senior - he's been more equipped to play college football than he is in high school football. Everything materialized for Warren after his junior season - he has earned 26 offers since his high school season ended in December, with Tennessee jumping into the mix on January 18, 2023.
