Tennessee landed their fourth in-state commitment to the 2025 class of Monday afternoon, hauling in wide receiver Radarious Jackson from Sheffield High School in Memphis, TN.
Jackson, a lengthy receiver at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, is ranked as a four-star prospect according to On3 Sports and ESPN’s recruiting services while 247 Sports and Rivals have him as a three-star prospect. According to 247 Composite rankings, Jackson lands as a Top 300 player overall, the 29th receiver in the class, and the 6th ranked player from the state of Tennessee.
Jackson’s basketball background also strengthens his play on the gridiron.
“Two-way prospect that flashes excellent athleticism in all three phases of the game,” 247 national recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna wrote about Jackson in April. “Long strider that exhibits good initial quickness and short-area change of direction ability off the line of scrimmage and in and out of breaks at the top of the route.”

Jackon’s commitment to Tennessee puts him as the fourth highest-ranked player in the Vols’ class behind QB George MacIntyre, DL Ethan Utley, and TE Jack Van Dorselaer. That also means that Tennessee’s recruiting ranking received a bump up on Monday.
With Jackson added into the mix, Tennessee lands as a Top 15 team across Rivals, 247, and On3.
On3 has Tennessee with the highest ranking at No. 12 overall and No. 7 in the SEC behind LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Auburn, and Oklahoma. Rivals and 247 both have Tennessee at No. 14 overall and No. 7 in the SEC, though the conference teams are different between the two.
Tennessee currently has one five-star prospect, three four-star prospects, and five three-star prospects for a total of nine commitments.
