Air Force transfer infielder Wyatt Hanoian committed to Tennessee baseball over Florida and Ole Miss on Tuesday afternoon, he announced on Instagram.
Hanoian was a top target for Tennessee in the transfer portal with the Vols hosting the Freshman All-American on a visit on Monday, June 8.
Hanoian is coming off a standout freshman season at Air Force where he slashed .357/.498/.573 with six home runs, 14 doubles and four triples. He also drove in 49 runs. The rising sophomore will be eligible for the 2027 MLB Draft.
A 5-foot-9 California native, Hanoian spent most his time at second base for the Falcons last season but also started games as the designated hitter and right fielder. Hanoian has a strong command of the strike zone, walking 32 times and striking out just 21 times. He was hit by 24 pitches last season.
