The Tennessee Volunteers baseball program has received a significant boost with commitments from two highly-touted recruits, Shawn Sullivan and Gary Morse. Both players have reportedly decided to forgo their eligibility for the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft, opting instead to play for the Vols next season.

Morse, a right-handed pitcher, has completed his process regarding the upcoming MLB Draft and will join the Tennessee roster. Details surrounding Sullivan's decision are similar; he too has chosen the collegiate path over an immediate professional career. This dual commitment signals a strong incoming class for the Volunteers.
