BREAKING: Class of 2025 RB Daune Morris has Flipped his Commitment from USC to Tennessee, he tells me for…..
In a dramatic shift in the 2025 recruiting landscape, highly regarded running back Daune Morris has flipped his commitment from USC to Tennessee. The 5’10”, 190-pound prospect from Murfreesboro, TN, had originally pledged to the Trojans back in April but has now opted to stay closer to home and join the Volunteers. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the recruitment of one of the top running backs in the 2025 class.
Morris is a dynamic playmaker with exceptional speed, vision, and the ability to break tackles, making him a coveted prospect for college programs nationwide. His decision to flip to Tennessee is a huge win for head coach Josh Heupel and the Volunteers’ recruiting efforts as they continue to build a strong class for 2025. Tennessee has been a rising power in recent years, and adding a player of Morris’s caliber only strengthens their position in the competitive SEC landscape.
“I’m home, GBO,” Morris said, expressing his excitement to join the Volunteers and play in front of his home state. Tennessee fans have long been eager to see top-tier talent stay in-state, and Morris’s commitment is a sign of continued momentum for the program.
Morris’s recruitment had been one of the most closely watched in the 2025 cycle, with schools from coast to coast vying for his signature. USC, which had held his commitment since the spring, will be disappointed to lose out on the talented back, but Tennessee will be thrilled with this coup.
As Tennessee looks to the future, the addition of Morris not only boosts their immediate recruiting efforts but also gives them a major piece in their backfield for the years to come. With the running back position such a crucial part of Tennessee’s offensive scheme, Morris’s skill set will be a valuable asset for the Volunteers as they continue to compete at the highest level in college football.
Expectations are already building for Morris to make an immediate impact once he arrives in Knoxville, and with his commitment, Tennessee’s recruiting class of 2025 just became even more exciting.
