No. 1 2025 in-state defensive lineman set for a return visit to Tennessee

The No. 1 in-state defensive lineman is set for a return visit to Tennessee.

Four-star defensive lineman Ethan Utley will visit Tennessee for the Vols’ Rocky Top Kickoff event Saturday.

The 6-foot-4, 275-pound defensive lineman is from Ensworth School in Nashville, Tennessee.

Utley is the No. 161 overall prospect and No. 18 defensive lineman in the class of 2025. He ranks as the No. 1 defensive lineman and No. 7 player in Tennessee, according to On3 industry rankings.

The 2025 prospect recorded 25 tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks and two pass breakups in nine games as a sophomore last season.

Utley’s visit will be his first since the Tennessee-Kentucky game at Neyland Stadium on Oct. 29, 2022. Tennessee is one of Utley’s top 12 schools for his commitment.
