Tennessee offers 4-star defensive end from Missouri

Tennessee Vols’ football recruiting news.

The University of Tennessee has offered a scholarship to Tyson Ford, a 2022 4-star defensive end prospect from Saint Louis, Missouri.

Ford attends John Burroughs School.

The 6-foot-5, 245-pound prospect is a 4-star on the 247Sports Composite, and is rated the No. 9 weak-side defensive end in the 2022 class and the No. 3 player in Missouri.

 

Tennessee outside linebackers coach Shelton Felton has led the charge on Ford’s recruitment, but the Vols will have plenty of work to do to beat out Oklahoma, who appears to be in the lead for his commitment.

Georgia, Notre Dame, Missouri and Arizona State have also offered Ford.
