A major addition to Tennessee has been drawn to conclusion

Four-star DL Mariyon Dye pledges to Tennessee

For Tennessee football, it’s another important commitment on another day. On Friday afternoon, Indiana’s Mariyon Dye, a four-star edge rusher, decided on the Volunteers. Dye used X to make his announcement.

In the 2025 class, the 6-5, 270-pound prospect is ranked 150th nationally by the 247Sports Composite rankings. Dye is the third-ranked player in the state of Indiana and the fourteenth-ranked edge rusher overall in the class.

Another recruit recently returned from an official visit to Tennessee is Dye. After spending the previous weekend in Knoxville, he pledged to the Volunteers a few days later. In addition, Dye paid formal visits to Purdue, Ohio State, Miami, and Michigan. Among his other offers were from LSU, Penn State, Texas A&M, and Florida State.

Dye will probably slot in as a strongside defensive end whenever he gets to Knoxville because of his size.

With Dye’s dedication, the Volunteers shot up to No. 10 in the rankings. Tennessee has committed 16 people in all after a hectic few weeks on the road. On the 2025 defensive line class, Dye joins three-star talent Charles House and four-star prospect Ethan Utley.

The Tennessee Volunteers have added yet another commit to their 2025 recruiting class as Top-5 EDGE rusher Mariyon Dye announced Friday he would be committing to the Volunteers.

Dye becomes the fifth commit in the month of June alone, bringing the Tennessee total to 16 commits in the 2025 class. They are currently outside of the top-ten consensus rankings. However, with the addition of Dye, one would assume they’d be in for a top-10 ranking soon enough.

The Volunteers recent run on EDGE rushers has been nothing less than impressive. They already have pledges from Jayden Loftin and Mariyon Dye in this class just one year after signing Five-star Jordan Ross. Additionally, Tennessee will likely have the first pass rusher off the board in the upcoming draft with James Pearce in the mix to be the No. 1 overall selection.
