Four-star defensive lineman pledges to Vols' 2020 signing class

KNOXVILLE - Tennessee already had one highly rated Bailey in its 2020 football recruiting class.

Now it has a second.

Dominic Bailey, a four-star defensive lineman from Baltimore, gave a nonbinding commitment to the Volunteers on Saturday. The 6-foot-2, 290-pounder is the program's fifth commitment for the 2020 signing class and its second four-star recruit - the other is quarterback Harrison Bailey, who committed in December.

Dominic Bailey had 18 other scholarship offers, including from Florida and Penn State.

"I would like to thank all the coaches that have been recruiting me and all the people that have been behind me through this journey of finding the right institution to attend for 3-4 years of my life," Bailey wrote on Twitter. "I am proud to announce that I have committed to the University of Tennessee."

In addition to the two Baileys, the Vols also have commitments from three-star receiver Antonio Barber, junior-college defensive end Jordan Davis and long snapper Will Albright.
