Antoni Kade Ogumoro committed on Tuesday night, making Tennessee football’s 2025 class the first to include an offensive linemen. This information was first reported by On3, in my opinion.
Ogumoro, who is described as 6-4 and 230 pounds, is the first of about 4-5 OL that the staff is hoping to grab this cycle. He is currently ranked as the ninth-best player in his native state of Oklahoma and is considered a three-star prospect for interior offensive line play. He moved to Oklahoma last November after playing high school ball in North Carolina.
Offers from several universities are included on 247, including those from Kansas State, Iowa State, Missouri, Oklahoma, TCU, North Carolina, and NC State. He made three trips to the Tar Heels, the most recent one being in April, but in the end it came down to a Tennessee/ Oklahoma decision with the good guys coming out on top, via Ryan Callahan’s post about the commitment.
According to 247’s recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks, Ogumoro seems like a good possibility. He even suggests that Ogumoro might be able to handle a more versatile role in the future, which is something we know this staff loves.

his feet. Due to his experience as a tackle and his mauler-like field mentality, which projects especially well to guard, he may offer roster flexibility. P4-caliber O-lineman with a strong pad background, a desired multi-sport background, and a two-way game who may have some sneaky long-term upside.
The huge man plays both inside and outside of the line, smashing opponents before going to the second level and driving a back-seven defender downfield with the ease of a man pushing a broom at a warehouse. His tape on Hudl seems encouraging. However, I’m not a coach, and I most definitely lack the qualifications to provide any meaningful advice or criticism. If any of you have experience with basic or advanced evaluations, please share your thoughts in the comments. He has always been a hoops player, which may have contributed to his athletic appearance on film.
