Former Tennessee baseball pitcher commits to Florida State.

Former Tennessee baseball pitcher Grant Cherry committed to Florida State following the 2024 season.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound junior appeared in five games at Long Beach State across the 2023-24 seasons. Cherry (3-2) recorded 56 strikeouts and a 4.93 ERA with the Dirtbags.

He appeared in five contests for the Vols as a freshman in 2022, recording five strikeouts. Cherry went to Tennessee out of Vestavia Hills High School in Vestavia Hills, Alabama.

Tennessee won the Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament championships in 2022.

The Vols advanced to a 2022 NCAA Tournament super regionals that season and were ranked No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll for 10 consecutive weeks (March 28-May 30, 2022).
