Westlake High School wide receiver Travis Smith made a decisive commitment on Saturday, opting to join the Tennessee Volunteers over prominent contenders such as Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia. Throughout his decision-making process, Tennessee emerged as the frontrunner and successfully secured Smith’s commitment, marking a significant addition to their 2025 recruiting class.
