Tennessee Vols basketball among top programs for 2025 4-star shooting guard

2025 four-star shooting guard Braylon Mullins revealed his top 10 schools this week and the Tennessee Vols made the cut, along with North Carolina, Alabama, Purdue, Kansas, UConn, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, and Duke.

Mullins, 6-foot-5/180 lbs from Greenfield, IN, is rated by 247Sports as the No. 5 shooting guard in the nation and the No. 3 player in the state of Indiana. He's also rated as the No. 23 overall player in the 2025 class.

"Coach (Gregg) Polinsky and Coach (Rick) Barnes are old-school guys which is cool," said Mullins to 247Sports of his interest in the Vols. "They always tell me I resemble Dalton Knecht and I see where he went. I also want to see the campus.”

Mullins has an official visit to Knoxville scheduled for October 19, which means he'll be in town for Tennessee's football game against the Alabama Crimson Tide (if it goes anything like the last time Bama visited Rocky Top, Mullins might commit to the Vols on the spot).

Tennessee basketball currently has just one player committed to its 2025 recruiting class (three-star center DeWayne Brown).
