Four-star receiver Amari Jefferson is announcing his college commitment Saturday after a long and highly intense recruitment. The Chattanooga native is down to a top group which includes Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.
Jefferson is announcing his commitment at 4:15 p.m. ET on the On3 Youtube channel.
The Baylor School standout ranks as a four-star recruit and the No. 209 player in the 247sports composite rankings. Jefferson also ranks as the No. 3 player in the state of Tennessee behind Vol commit Kaleb Beasley and LSU commit Ondre Evans.
The blue-chip receiver is also a star baseball player who committed to Tony Vitello and Tennessee baseball years ago. How important baseball is to his decision is unclear.

While Jefferson is down to a top three including Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee but this is truly a decision between Alabama and Tennessee.
The four-star receiver has visited Alabama five times and Tennessee seven times throughout his recruitment. After officially visiting both schools in June, Jefferson returned to Knoxville and Tuscaloosa for unofficial visits last weekend.
Tennessee football’s 2024 recruiting class currently contains 19 commits including from two receivers: four-star Braylon Staley and five-star Mike Matthews. The Vols are also top contenders to land five-star Missouri native Ryan Wingo.
The Vols’ 2024 recruiting class ranks eighth nationally according to the 247sports team rankings. Jefferson committing to Tennessee would propel the class to fifth nationally.
