The Tennessee Volunteers have once again struck gold with their 2023 recruiting class.

Chandavian Bradley, an edge rusher from Platte City, Missouri, announced on Sunday that he has committed to the University of Tennessee.

Bradley was among the more coveted pass rushers by SEC schools for the 2023 class, receiving offers from the likes of Texas A&M and Arkansas. In March, he trimmed down his list of interested schools to a mere 10, which included Pac-12 powerhouses USC and Oregon.

Still, Bradley opted to shift his focus to talking to schools that are closer to home. He visited a total of four schools over the past months, including South Carolina. But after touching base with the Tennessee football coaching staff during his late-May visit, he has elected to take his talents to the Volunteers.

Overall, several factors led to Bradley's call to commit to Tennessee. Among them, he is well fond of the “family atmosphere” at the university.

Volunteers head coach Josh Heupel has remained quite busy in his push to turn around the program. Bradley is now the 17th commitment for Tennessee’s class of 2023 and is also the second five-star talent to join the program for the year according to the 247Sports composite rankings, joining Long Beach Poly quarterback Nicholaus Iamaleava.

247Sports also lists the Volunteers at fifth in their 2023 recruit rankings, and they are also now the sixth school to receive at least two five-star commitments for this class.

For now, much attention for Heupel sure is set on Tennessee’s upcoming season, which will kick off on Sept. 1 with a home game against Ball State.
