On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- Chris Washington Jr., a 6-foot-8 four-star forward and No. 49 prospect in the 2026 class, has committed to Tennessee basketball after previously being committed to Alabama.
- Washington chose Tennessee over finalists Auburn, Ole Miss, Villanova, and USC, becoming the fourth player committed to the Vols' 2026 class alongside guards Ralph Scott, Manny Green, and Marquis Clark.
- Tennessee is also bolstering its roster with four transfer portal commitments, including Belmont guard Tyler Lundblade, Cal guard Dai Dai Ames, Loyola (Chicago) forward Miles Rubin, and Notre Dame forward Jalen Harralson.
- The transfers bring strong credentials: Lundblade was Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year with notable 3-point shooting, Ames earned third-team All-ACC honors with a career-best scoring average, Rubin is a prolific shot-blocker, and Haralson posted solid all-around stats at Notre Dame.
