Tennessee basketball fans are certainly focused on the present ahead of a Sweet 16 showdown with Kentucky, but recruiting never sleeps. Rick Barnes’ staff picked up a new commitment for the 2025-26 roster on Tuesday.
Troy Henderson, a point guard from Virginia, took to social media to announce to his verbal pledge to play for Tennessee.
Out of John Marshall, Henderson measures 6-1 and 180 pounds. His 247Sports profile does not have a Composite rating and only shows interest Fordham and UT, but Henderson is confident that he’ll be an impact player for the Vols. He decommitted from Fordham last week, and quickly found a new home on Rocky Top.
Tennessee is getting a dog,” Henderson told GoVols247. “They’re getting a point guard that can lead, that can guard. They’re getting a point guard that can get my teammates involved and a point guard that can score on his own. I can do it all. They’re getting a point guard that’s a coach on the floor, I’m going to lead the team and I’m going to win.
Henderson is the 3rd member of Tennessee’s 2025-26, joining signees Amari Evans and DeWayne Brown. Evans, a 6-5 small forward, is the Composite’s No. 66 overall prospect. Brown, a 6-8 center, rates No. 87 nationally.
