Despite a change at the head of the program, the Tennessee baseball program recruiting efforts have not taken a backseat under new lead man Josh Elander and that was evident on Wednesday as his staff earned the commitment of local two-way standout Gaven French.
The right-handed pitcher/middle infield recruit has shined for Heritage High School in nearby Maryville and gives the Tennessee Volunteers their 14th commitment of the 2027 recruiting class.
He chose the local program over Clemson, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt after visiting those four programs as well as Tennessee.
