Four-star wide receiver recruit Travis Smith Jr. committed to the Tennessee Volunteers over the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers. Smith was previously projected to commit to Georgia, but he started to trend toward Tennessee ahead of his commitment announcement.
Smith is ranked the No. 15 wide receiver recruit in the class of 2025. Smith is Tennessee’s fifth-highest ranked commitment in the 2025 cycle.
Following Smith’s commitment, the Volunteers have the No. 15 recruiting class in the country. Despite missing out on Smith, Georgia still has the third-best class of 2025 in the nation.
Smith took official visits to all four of his top four schools ahead of his commitment.
Smith plays football for Westlake High School in Atlanta, Georgia. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound wide receiver is consider the 149th overall recruit in the nation. The Westlake star is the ranked 20th among all recruits in Georgia in the 2025 recruiting cycle, according to 247Sports. The four-star wide receiver prospect plays basketball and participates in track and field and has good speed.
Smith may not be Tennessee’s only big recruiting win. The Volunteers are also predicted to flip four-star linebacker Jadon Perlotte from Georgia.
